His poetry speaks to contemporary Christians about spiritual conversion, consolation, and desolation. Through his poetry, Hopkins (1) rejoices in a personal experience of the God we know, love, and serve through faith in Jesus Christ, (2) celebrates the divine life manifest in creation, and (3) laments the existential and spiritual despair of the faithful disciple feeling abandoned by God. |
