A powerful collection of poetry exploring faith, art, and modern life.In Lay Studies, Steven Toussaint conducts lyric inventions that explore the space between love and rage. These poems meditate on worshipful life in an age dominated by spectacle, violence, and environmental devastation. Toussaint depicts scenes of domestic life in New Zealand, religious and artistic soul-searching in the United Kingdom, and a sense of dislocation from the United States.These poems offer contemplative inwardness, conjuring a tradition of literature, scholarship, and art. Lay Studies is for readers seeking profound reflection on faith, art, and the human condition in the modern world.
