Brighter and Until the Perfect Day

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."
