Argyle eased the warm loaf right and left and downed swift gulps of beer and venial sin then lit into the bread now leavened with the corpsess cardinal mischiefs, then he said Six pence, Im sorry. and the widow paid him. So opens the unsantionedMoreArgyle eased the warm loaf right and left and downed swift gulps of beer and venial sin then lit into the bread now leavened with the corpsess cardinal mischiefs, then he said Six pence, Im sorry. and the widow paid him. So opens the unsantioned priesthood of The Sin-Eater: A Breviary - Thomas Lynchs collection of two dozen, twenty-four line poems - a book of hours in the odd life and times of Argyle, the sin-eater. Celtic and druidic, scapegoat and outlier, a fixture in the funerary landscape of former centuries, Argyles doubt-ridden witness seems entirely relevant to our difficult times. By turns worshipful and irreverent, good-humoried and grim, these poems examine the deeper meanings of Eucharist and grace, forgiveness and faith, atonement and reconcilation. Sin-Eater: A Breviary by Thomas Lynch
