Description: Poems of Devotion is a collection of the finest recent
poems in the devotional mode, which the editor examines in detail
in the introductory essay. The seventy-seven poets collected here
demonstrate the ongoing vitality of poetry as a spiritual practice,
in the long tradition of poets, psalmists, and mystics from the
East and West. This is an anthology that will prove deeply
rewarding in the classroom, at home, or in the library of your
religious institution. Endorsements: ""The phrase 'contemporary
devotional poetry' is more likely to conjure images of treacly
holiday greeting cards than literature of the highest order. But
this anthology, on the contrary, bears witness to the perennial
human desire to adore--and to question, Job-like--the Almighty.
This is a generous and inclusive selection, containing not only
modern masters but also emerging voices. Above all, it is a
reminder that the best writing is, in the end, an offering to the
Mystery."" --Gregory Wolfe, editor of Image About the
