At the heart of God is in the Cracks is Robert Sward's Talmud-conversant father, of Russian-Jewish extraction—a Chicago-based podiatrist by profession—who came unhinged after his wife's death at age 42.
In the late 1940s he became a Rosicrucian and practiced his rites secretly in the basement of the family home. Dr. Sward evolved his own blend of kabbalistic, Christian hermetic, and prescient New Age mysticism which lent its colors to his medical practice as well as to his view of his son's eventual career choice and several marriages.
God is in the Cracks draws on Rosicrucian in the Basement and Heavenly Sex (Black Moss Press) and includes more than a dozen new poems in the father-son series. The poems, monologues and dialogues in the father's voice, are sequenced to form a narrative spanning 60 years (1945-present).

God in the cracks
It took me some time to learn the context of the story, I found it on the backside of the title page. It is set in the low country of South Carolina, the home of the Gullah people. When I read that, I took the next logical step and did a search on the Gullah. They are the descendants of slaves that have managed to retain a great deal of their African linguistic and cultural heritage and have invented their own language. It is unfortunate that these facts are not included in the story.
The structure of the book has a short section of text on the left page and an image of a father and son on the right page. The images show them engaged in a series of actions that are typical of a day in their lives. It is a book that is easy to read and view and would have been far more interesting if the context had been a part of the story. There are many cultural enclaves in the United States and their existence is not often a part of the education of children.
