Caedmon's Hymns: Poems of Unbelief

This collection of acclaimed author and translator Burton Raffel's poetry features original poems on and around a single topic, religious belief and disbelief. It could not be a set of translations from the Old English poet, Caedmon: there is only one short poem ascribed to him. But that poem, and what is known of Caedmon's profound belief, have for many years represented for Raffel a mental state that he could never achieve.
