I remember I read one of your poems to my students. I think it was “Things Below.” One student asked if you were Christian. I told them Yes, but not the kind of Christian you’d want him to be. I think they fell in the category of “whispy holier-than-the-rest-of-us” and your words were a mirror, of sort, a challenge to who they believed themselves to be. I wonder if that’s what’s happening with the review board? It’s hard to look one’s self in the mirror. You invite us to do that. Thank you.
"theology is the opiate..."

I'd have been mad too.
