Summary
A transfiguration of Die Gemeinschaftliche Liedersammlung-a collection of Protestant hymns originally compiled by a Pennsylvanian-born Swiss-German Mennonite-into heart-breaking lyric poems that bridge secular spirituality and holy reverence with the commonalities of life, death, love, hope, and pain. With a quiet musicality, Jernigan explores the connection between hymn and poem, between death and birth. In a sparse and tender meditation on the possibilities of translation that she describes as 'an offering of words to music,' Jernigan celebrates a shared love and landscape that breathes music into poem and prayer alike
