If there are no easy answers here, there is nevertheless a sense, as Browning says, that βAll our life is some form of religion.β In verse that is measured and always thoughtful, Scully weighs the detail and delight of things against their difficult, confronting implications.

A numinous gaze sequesters these apocrypha from historyβs barbs and the traumatic coalitions of religion and empire. Yet there is clarity and grace in Scullyβs poems and homages. A quiet harvester, he writes poignantly of the past, making words whisper and shine.
