Praise for this book

"Thoroughly integrating sacred and secular, Revell produces a book of love and rapture."
--Publishers Weekly


"Quiet, piercing lyrics, meditative and trenchant, unadorned, confident in their ability to transport, traverse time and space, The English Boat finds Revell at the height of his powers. God, Jesus, and Mary are as close as friends and neighbors. In the ever-shifting complexity of faith, Revell's voice finds calm and righteous anger here, and forgiveness, via negativa, moving us to newness of day in the most troubled of times." --Gillian Conoley
