The title of Katie Manning's Hereverent offers readers a first glimpse into the fierce but gentle heart that propels life through this collection. An author-created neologism, the portmanteau of "heretical" and "reverent" describes these poems born out of Manning's frustration with watching people take language from the Bible and weaponize it against other people. At times barbed and challenging, and at other times playful and joyous, this work is a portal into another universe for any reader who understands that love and kindness are truly sacred.
