"If the human experience is the equivalent of the universe looking back at itself, godhouse takes that notion a few steps further by centering cosmology in a raced and gendered body, in a union of god and soul that, within our material world, easily vacillates between love and hate, joy and despair.

In godhouse, the reader encounters the universe made personal and celebratory, as an infinity that endures the complications of flesh and the necessary resistance to our most ungodly and monstrous expressions of personhood"--
