A heartfelt, daring, divinely hilarious debut novel about a priest who embarks on a fateful journey with a pistol in his pocket and an injured coyote in his backseat."A beautiful and meditative exploration of shattered faith." —Brit Bennett, author of The Vanishing HalfFather Dan is homeless. Dismissed by his conservative diocese for eccentricity and insubordination, he’s made his exile into a kind of pilgrimage, transforming his Toyota Camry into a mobile monk’s cell. Then he sees a minivan sideswipe a coyote. Unable to suppress his Franciscan impulses, he takes the injured animal in.With his unexpected canine companion in the backseat, Dan makes his way west, encountering other offbeat travelers and stopping to take in the occasional roadside novelty (MARTIN'S HOLE TO HELL, WORLD-FAMOUS BOTTOMLESS PIT NEXT EXIT!). But the coyote is far from the only oddity fate has delivered into this churchless priest’s care: it has also given him a bone-handled pistol, a box of bullets, and a letter from an estranged friend. By the time Dan gets to where he’s going, he’ll be forced to reckon once and for all with the great mistakes of his past, and he will have to decide: is penance better paid with revenge, or with redemption?

New York’s avant-garde synth-pop sages Xeno & Oaklander—Liz Wendelbo and Sean McBride—announce the release of their latest album Via Negativa (in the doorway light). The album’s concept, drawn from the philosophy of negation—“the study of what not to do”—suggests that absence reveals essence. It’s a subtle dance between form and emptiness, between sound and silence, where each note balances upon the edge of nothingness.Crafted in the pair’s shadowy studio sanctum, these compositions started as embryonic piano lines and grew into elaborate, interconnected modular synth systems. McBride, ever the architect, adds what he calls “harmonic padding,” weaving together tuned percussion and a “spectral transfer device” to shape the album’s rhythmic architecture. The outcome is a deeply textured masterpiece that captures Xeno & Oaklander’s fascination with the tension between raw spontaneity and measured exactitude.

This paper argues that negative theology is a direct consequence of monotheism. In so doing, it argues that monotheism is not so much a claim about the number of God “one as opposed to a multiplicity — as it is a claim about the nature of God ” unlike anything else in the universe. In short, God is unique. But uniqueness presents a special problem. The concepts and categories that make up our conceptual scheme are derived from normal experience. To say that God is unique is to say that God cannot be grasped by these concepts or categories. But then we face a dilemma: to preserve uniqueness we must sacrifice intelligibility. Mythology represents the opposite pole: a god who is perfectly intelligible but for that reason ordinary. It follows that in addition to being a claim about God, monotheism is a claim about the limit of human knowledge.

In this lecture, Tom Andrews creates an imaginary symposium: four voices, each representing a different set of convictions in contemporary poetry, discuss books by Charles Wright, Jane Mead, Bill Knott, and Michael Palmer, and in doing so disclose the theoretical and political assumptions of their work. Andrews lets his imaginary voices argue, but leaves the argument unresolved; instead, he develops each position as fully as possible so we might better understand the terms of the argument, and what is at stake.
