À propos de ce contenu audio
In soaring blank verse, Brighter and Brighter until the Perfect Day reimagines the entire scope of existence from premortal life through the creation, the fall, mortality, the Atonement, and beyond. This gorgeous epic poem blends theology (including the Latter-day Saint doctrine of a Heavenly Mother), science, and imagination in a way that is thoroughly engaging, elegant, and provocative.
Referring to Orson F. Whitney's prediction that Latter-day Saints would "yet have Miltons and Shakespeares of our own," scholar and writer Michael Austin writes that "the wait may well be over. Sharlee Mulllins Glenn, with her remarkable new epic, comes closer than any poet ever has to being a Milton of our own."

“This breathtaking epic poem creates an exhilarating spaciousness for imagining what could be. Sharlee Mullins Glenn’s vision speaks to a deep heart-knowing—gently healing the ache of Mother God’s quiet absence and restoring the sense of her intimate and infinite love at work in our lives.” —Aubrey Chaves, co-host of the "Faith Matters" podcast
“Sharlee Mullins Glenn’s epic poem Brighter and Brighter is a masterpiece—epic in all the senses of the word. Glenn uses the poetic form with skill and adroit beauty—and the work opens new possibilities for theology. One thing I feel pretty certain about is that this will become a classic of poetic theological narrative. In my mind, it already is.” —Steven L. Peck, biologist, poet, novelist, author of A Short Stay in Hell, Evolving Faith, Heike’s Void
