Hymns and Lamentations is a meditation on the realities of deep faith and great suffering. It takes its place in the long tradition of religious literature where a personal relationship with the divine is embraced and swum through, while the equally great reality of suffering and injustice questions the very nature of belief and of God. In Hymns and Lamentations, ecstasy and anguish answer one another.
