Writing Unknowing: Body, Moment and God

Abstract

This thesis explores love, nothingness, the body, the moment, and God. The human bodily experience is one of mystery. In writing toward this mystery, I try reclaim my own body and connect with God. My experience with God is an experience of language, but it is also entirely unreachable with language. This work explores this paradox with a critical essay, drawing from multiple genres and time periods, as well as an original book of poetry titled The Son.
