Nicelle Davis is a poet with an eye towards the spiritual. Loosely based on Davis's upbringing in the back-room of a record store in Mormonville, Utah, this unexpected fusion becomes a \\u201cspontaneous combustion\\u201d of matter turning into energy. In these poems we encounter Jesus, Judas, YouTube, Joseph Smith, Hollywood, the Knights of Templar, Missouri, Utah, a prostitute, turnips, libraries, and God. Spirituality and faith eventually become, like Mallarm\\u00e9's \\u201cDice Thrown, \\u201d a game of chance: \\u201cI know only chance. My feet will \/ won't hit ground.\\u201d Instead of choosing a faith based in the material world, which becomes a roll of the dice, Davis embraces the non-material of a pure energy: Let there be light.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Red Hen Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47969605124247,"sku":"9781597092395","price":1352.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781597092395.webp?v=1782922756","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/becoming-judas-9781597092395","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
