`...Without faith,
There'd be no return, no embrace of light,
No knowledge ever of what is real...'

Divine Comedies is a collection of intense lyrical poems on the themes of Dante's masterpiece: The Divine Comedy. In this collection, James Sale combines the lyricism and spirituality of his collections Inside the Whale and The Lyre Speaks True with the darker narratives of hell and psychological suffering. Meditative, concentrated, and transformative, his poetry engages in a modern way with the ancient concept of life-after-death and explores what this might mean in our increasingly secular world.
