Aristotle's Finger: Poems of the Sacred & the Profane by Francis Alexander is a compelling collection of mystic religious poetry bracketed by the lived reality of a desacralized, profane world. This 2023 edition explores themes of power, politics, and violence, juxtaposed against the history of oppression and all-consuming human passion. The cover features striking artwork of raccoons in a dark, atmospheric forest setting, reflecting the author's unique perspective as a Chicago-based educator and theologian originally from Kerala, India. A thought-provoking addition to any poetry lover's library, this slim volume captures the contours of the human experience through a lens that is both spiritual and grounded.
