‘I come to pour out my marrow, un-skimping, I want to be holy.’
Psalmody (2016, Eyewear Publishing) is poet Maria Apichella’s ambitious, lyrical and technically brilliant debut collection.
Exploring the complex relationship of a Christian woman and an atheist man named David, the story plays out in familiar feeling tones and tropes to King David’s psalms, and both characters share similarities to him in varying degrees and aspects.
