The Day of Doom is an epic poem, first published in 1662, about the Judgment Day by the Puritan poet Michael Wigglesworth. It may be challenging reading for some, but for those willing to dig deep it's worth adding this classic to one's library. Cotton Mather once said The Day of Doom may be read until the Last Day. It may be considered the omega poem to John Milton's alpha Paradise Lost.
