Acclaimed Poet Christian Wiman's Most Powerful Collection Yet

Wiman's spiritual and religious insights are on full display, as he grapples with questions of God, faith, and the human experience in the twenty-first century.
With its profound depth and range, Survival Is a Style solidifies Christian Wiman's place as one of the most vital voices in contemporary American poetry. This is a collection destined to become a permanent part of the American literary landscape.
