Theology of the Broken invites the reader into a garden--a messy, sensual place of potential anddespair--and into the Garden, where the myth of Adam and Eve is exploded and rewritten into atale of separation and communion.The book opens with bulbs that have landed on the author’s porch and expands into a hallucinatorychorus of flowers, interspersed with mythic poems upended from all ordinary perspective.In this garden the Fall is division: male from female, body from soul. The poems wander through alandscape alternately lush and desolate until Adam and Eve are united again, momentarily.
