Poetry. PURITAN SPECTACLE by Robert Strong is a collection of poetry that shows a 21st-century God through popular culture and humor. Nick Flynn had this to say about it: "Puritan Spectacle is a newly imagined bible for our rapidly diminishing idea of America. It is, by turns, startling and profound, playful and terrifying, utterly original yet, seemingly, simply overheard." Robert Strong lives north of the Adirondack wilderness with his wife and son.
