Beschreibung

A compelling, imagined dialogue with some of the most beloved Christian poets 

Step into a captivating poetic conversation that spans centuries. The Role of the Moon explores the timeless themes of faith, loss, transcendence, human struggle, and renewal, echoing John Donne, George Herbert, and other 17th-century metaphysical poets. 

In vivid dialogue with John Milton, William Shakespeare, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Emily Dickinson, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and many others, D.S. Martin engages them in our modern world. A "new metaphysical" voice emerges, connecting the past to the present with wit, poignancy, and striking originality. 

Perfect for readers who enjoy poetry and literature as a spiritual pursuit, this collection invites you to explore the beauty and power of classic Christian poetry in a fresh and modern way.

It was first performed at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2024, directed by Emily Aboud and produced by Broccoli Arts and Jessie Anand Productions.

    Read by Ellen Burstyn 
    The legendary Academy Award–winning actress reflects on her love affair with poetry and makes us believers. 
    In this beautiful book, Ellen Burstyn celebrates poetic magic and shares her favorite works. Now into her nineties, Ellen reveals she had an evangelical response to learning poetry even as a child and would memorize and recite the works of Edna St Millay to envelope herself in the poet’s deeper emotional landscape. As she continued her epic rise through film and theater—eventually winning an Oscar, a Tony, a BAFTA, and an Emmy—poetry gave voice to her experience as no other literary art form could. She never went anywhere without her curated “poetry pack.” No matter where she was in the world, while waiting on set, in rehearsal, on a train, or just relaxing, she found comfort in verse. 
    For nearly nine decades, poetry has led Ellen on a life of adventure, from a pilgrimage to Rumi’s birthplace to a friendship with Maya Angelou, during which the poet read her work in Ellen’s movie trailer, to selecting the poems to join her in love, in motherhood and in grief. 
    Featuring work by W.B. Yeats, Edna Vincent St. Millay, Rainer Maria Rilke, William Wordsworth, Edgar Allan Poe, William Ernest Henley, and others, Poetry Says It Better is a perfect daily companion for everyone looking to deepen and add meaning to their life experience. Throughout, Burstyn’s charming voice and luminous insights help readers meet her in this poetic celebration—soul to soul.
