Our job is to try to look at the world behind the world

'There was something about that poetry [of the Bible] that spoke to a heightened experience and a language of interiority. Religion provided a structure for thinking about experience and moving through this life. That is all part of poetry's work. Our job is to try to look at the world behind the world.'
