Although the literary form is poetry, this is a book about the spiritual life. Think of it as an armchair visit to a monastery. Focused around monastic themes, it speaks to the spiritual seeker and curious bystander alike by presenting a range of spiritual experiences in accessible language. The poems are grouped according to a monastic logic. A section on visits to monasteries is followed by poems on questions of vocation or spiritual calling that such visits often raise. Then the reader will follow the horarium, or monastic day, and encounter some fruit of lectio divina, the practice of prayerful reading of scripture. The poems on interior prayer will speak to contemplatives in any religious tradition. The collection closes by exploring the experience of anchorites and solitaries.

About the Author:
Formerly a professor of New Testament, Bonnie Thurston is a poet and spiritual director who lives quietly in her home state of West Virginia. She also writes theological works and travels to lecture and give retreats.
Review:
"Her command of crisp, precise language bespeaks her professional training in English literature, and her commitment to a simple lifestyle of being and seeing allows her to not merely describe but to probe each experience for its spiritual fecundity. Readers will find prayerful richness in each of these poetry collections."—Monica Weis, SSJ, Cistercian Studies Quarterly
