After reading Wiman's collection of essays, "My Bright Abyss," I was a tad startled at the ferocity of some of the poems in Every Riven Thing. As a poet, he displays a dexterity of voice and a probing perspective and there is a movement toward mystery, grief, and awe. There were points in the collection where the cadence of the words felt hard and almost clip-cloppy, like a wood block rhythm, and that's an observation I have yet to turn into a judgement.

Every Riven Thing is Christian Wiman's first collection in seven years, and rarely has a book of poetry so borne the stamp of necessity. Whether in stark, haiku-like descriptions of a cancer ward, surrealistic depictions of a social order coming apart, or fluent, defiant outpourings of praise, Wiman pushes his language and forms until they break open, revealing startling new truths within. The poems are joyful and sorrowful at the same time, abrasive and beautiful, densely physical and credibly mystical. They attest to the human hunger to feel existence, even at its most harrowing, and the power of art to make our most intense experiences not only apprehensible but transfiguring.
