If kept in the right spirit, it means a record of things both seen and unseen, all recorded in strictly conscientious fashion? It means, too, that one must crystallize one’s secret thoughts and longings and desires into written words, thereby giving speech to hitherto inarticulaye [sic] voices.

This roundtable is interested in examining the ways that desire is explored in various types of devotional and religious literature, particularly in relationship to gender and sexuality. Often, the religious and devotional works of literary figures go unanalyzed, and are not considered "literature." Additionally, religiousity is often conflated with dogmatic and repressive attitudes towards sexuality. Thus, this roundtable hopes to address these tensions by beginning a conversation about sexu
