At the core of this collection are 30 poems inspired by the stories
of kinship between saints and animals. They come mostly from the
early Christian desert and Celtic traditions, but also feature
later medieval saints like St. Francis of Assisi and St. Julian of
Norwich. These stories point to a reverence for a different way of
knowing and being in the world, one our world is hungry for. Each
poem in this collection is meant to be a doorway to intimacy with
our inner wilderness, a call to sit and be present to what we
discover beyond the borders of our neatly controlled worlds.
