Synopsis
Poet
Stephen Scobie writes in character, assuming the identity of another to look through their eyes for awhile. He takes on his most controversial character yet in
Gospel, a long poem that considers the world through the eyes of Jesus Christ. Resonant and meditative, his rendition of the life and philosophy of Christ is indeed food for thought.
Reviews
"The care Scobie takes to tell simply . . . makes Gospel a testament to words."
