Inhaltsangabe

The Book of Hulga speculates&;with humor, tenderness, and a brutal precision&;on a character that Flannery O&;Connor envisioned but did not live long enough to write: &;the angular intellectual proud woman approaching God inch by inch with ground teeth.&; These striking poems look to the same sources that O&;Connor sought out, from Gerard Manley Hopkins to Edgar Allan Poe to Simone Weil. Original illustrations by Julie Franki further illuminate Reese&;s imaginative verse biography of a modern-day hillbilly saint.

Because she wanted to be closer
to God she took off all of her clothes.
She unnamed them as they came off
God like water all over the drowning
Over and over and over God
but under too deep under everything
stays under except God+ God. One nation
under Hulga. Nation like a fist
in the small of her back
That was years ago is how now felt then
Now covering her body at last.
