For over three decades, James Dickey has been one of the nation's most important poets and a prominent man of letters. The Whole Motion collects his poetic oeuvre into a single volume: 235 poems from his first book, Into the Stone (1960), to The Eagle's Mile (1990), along with previously uncollected poems and unpublished "apprentice" works.

"What I looked for here," James Dickey tells us about The Eagle's Mile, "was a flicker of light 'from another direction,' and when I caught it – or thought I did – I followed where it went, for better or worse."

The true key to unlocking the secret of the Bible, according to author E. James Dickey, is found in biography. Some people would approach the Bible from a doctrinal, sacramental, historical, and archaeological point of view. Valid as these ways of understanding this magnificent treasure known as the Bible are, any or all of these measures fall far short of encompassing the whole content of the Bible.The way to embrace the totality of scripture and unlock the mystery therein is thro...
