Praise for "The Ordering of Love
"By Madeleine L'Engle
"
""In a brilliant marriage of myth and manner, histories sacred and
profane, prayers of petition and of praise, these poems both
articulate and illumine the trouble in the gap in which we live-the
gap between human affections and Divine Love. L'Engle is unfailing
in her willingness to see "through"-not "around"-human suffering,
and in so doing announces no final severing of spirit and flesh but
an enduring vision of resurrection in that crux, in the cross, in
the One in Whom all things meet, continuing."
-Scott Cairns, author of "Slow Pilgrim "and "Philokalia: New and
Selected Poems"
"I love L'Engle's poetry for the way it incarnates not only the
great Truths of the faith, but all the little truths of our
ordinary existence-our working and playing and loving and fighting
and dreaming and idling and all the rest of it-and for the way it
shows us that those big and little truths should not, cannot, be
separated."
-Carolyn Arends, recording artist and author
"Why is L'Engle one of the defining poets of our time? Because when
life hurts, she does not shrink from the wounds. She clarifies the
murk with hope as we feel the lift of grace."
-Calvin Miller, Beeson Divinity School
Birmingham, Alabama
"We are, all of us, the richer for this carefully crafted and
prayerfully rendered collection."
-Phyllis Tickle, Author, "The Divine Hours"
"Poetry, at least the kind I write, is written out of immediate
need; it is written out of pain, joy, and experience too great to
be borne until it is ordered into words. And then it is written to
be shared."
-Madeleine L'Engle
Madeleine L'Engle's writing has always translated the invisible
and intricate qualities of love into the patterns and rhythms of
visible life. Now, with compelling language and open-hearted
vulnerability, "The Ordering of Love" brings together the
exhaustive collection of L'Engle's poetry for the first time.
This volume collects nearly 200 of L'Engle's original poems,
including eighteen that have never before been published.
Reflecting on themes of love, loss, faith, and beauty, "The
Ordering of Love" gives vivid and compelling insight into the
language of the heart.
