Thanks for having a look at my essay, Victoria. You're right about the premise: in the media, in higher education, religion is considered more or less dead. Worse, it's considered horribly retrograde among intellectuals and artists to practie or talk about religion, and if you look at other countries like Sweeden, Denmark, France, the percentage of church goers is sliding toward single digits.
I have read a fair amount of Levertov's poetry and a sampling of Marge Piercy's and I can't say I remember any particular religious tone or subject matter in either. Can you point me toward a a few paraticular poems?
Thanks.
