520 |a John Updike is not only a novelist of rare distinction but also a poet who displays a fine religious sensibility. This article examines three of Updike's theologically most pregnant poetic offerings. "Seven stanzas at Easter" finds the poet attesting the bodily resurrection of Christ with Pauline fervor and literary grace.
