Poetry is the new prayer.
Join poets Mary Oliver, Jane Hirshfield, Wendell Berry, Yehuda Amichai, Joy Harjo, Padraig O Tuama, Mahmoud Darwish, and many others as they use the words and cadences of great contemporary poems to find comfort and peace in times of distress, a deeper relationship with the divine, forgiveness, guidance for decision-making and wisdom, and the company of others who are doing the same.
The pages of this book create communion. Each poem is reflective, representing a voice woven with the others by the thread of offering and open questions. A reader wishing to enter the immediacy and intimacy of prayer will be held by these voices. Anyone wondering how a poem can also be a prayer or how lines of poetry can give and sustain life, renew and consecrate--will find companionship here.
