In this all-new sequel to the Beacon bestseller Poems to Live By in
Uncertain Times, editor Joan Murray has once again gathered an
astonishing group of poems that speak to our personal and shared
concerns in a troubled time.
Poems to Live By in Troubling Times features works carefully
selected and deftly organized to help guide us through the
complexities of our current situation. Included are poems that
speak to our anxiety and terror; rally our hope and courage; warn
us of complacency and complicity; stir us to action and compassion;
lead us to question our leaders and politicians; move us to
meditation and prayer; urge us to confront war and violence; and
give us hope for peace and justice.
Readers will find wisdom to sustain them as they face difficulties
in their individual lives or confront our common contemporary
predicament. These are not poems that provide easy answers or
overheated rhetoric but poems that speak directly and deeply to the
soul, from the most important and celebrated poets of our era.
Joan Murray is editor of Poems to Live By in Uncertain Times and
The Best of Pushcart Poetry. A National Poetry Series Open
Competition winner, she is author of Queen of the Mist, Dancing on
the Edge, and Looking for the Parade. Her poems have also appeared
in The Atlantic Monthly, Harper's, Ms., The Nation, and Best
American Poetry and have been featured on NPR's Morning Edition.
Murray lives in Old Chatham, New York.
