Some of our favorite book reviewers have been doing what they do best, and we’re the proud recipients of several wonderful reviews. Here is a taste of the most recent and best:<\/p>\n

\"All<\/a>All Creation Waits<\/em> – Author Gayle Boss was a featured guest blogger on Krista Tippett’s On Being blog. You can read that post here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Paraclete Poetry Anthology<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>was featured in the\u00a0Chicago Tribune<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>today, in a weekly round up of religion titles. Barbara Mahaney said: “Consider this a short course for the soul. Or, perhaps, the syllabus to last a lifetime. . .<\/p>\n

\"Paraclete<\/a>Gathered here we find selected and new poems from a contemplative monk or three, an Episcopal priest, a rabbi, a protege of Thomas Merton, an Iranian-German poet, a theologian, a flock of English professors, and poets from Ireland, Poland, West Virginia and Tennessee. Tucked amid the poets’ roster, we find Rainer Maria Rilke, considered one of the most lyrically intense German-language poets, in new and previous translations by Burrows.<\/p>\n

You’ll wear out the pages and the binding before you’re ever ready to put down this book.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Charles<\/a>We also had a wonderful mention on “The Millions” for\u00a0Charles of the Desert: A Life in Verse<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>as part of Nick Ripatrizone’s Year in Reading<\/a>. “Each year I read more books than I can possibly review \u2014 here are. . . the finest and most memorable of that bunch. They are worth your money, your time, and your attention.<\/p>\n

Beautiful verse, full of pieces like \u201cThe Pangs of Wanting:\u201d \u201cI deliver my body to the church, \/ though I cannot imagine what penance might relieve \/ these pangs of wanting.\u201d Later: \u201cI take first communion\u2026My tongue licks up the bread: a whisper \/ of paper on my teeth\u2026His torn body in my stomach, \/ his blood in my spit, I almost vomit; I almost sing.\u201d More collections about God like this one would be very welcomed.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
