By Madeleine L’Engle
“In an excellent marriage of delusion and demeanour, histories sacred and profane, prayers of petition and of compliment, those poems either articulate and illumine the difficulty within the hole within which we live–the hole among human affections and Divine Love. L’Engle is unfailing in her willingness to work out through–not around–human discomfort, and in so doing proclaims no ultimate severing of spirit and flesh yet a permanent imaginative and prescient of resurrection in that crux, within the pass, within the One in Whom all issues meet, continuing.”
–Scott Cairns, writer of Slow Pilgrim and Philokalia: New and chosen Poems
“I love L’Engle’s poetry for how it incarnates not just the nice Truths of the religion, yet all of the little truths of our usual existence–our operating and enjoying and loving and battling and dreaming and idling and all of the remainder of it–and for a way it indicates us that these substantial and little truths are not, can't, be separated.”
–Carolyn Arends, recording artist and author
“Why is L’Engle one of many defining poets of our time? simply because whilst lifestyles hurts, she doesn't diminish from the injuries. She clarifies the murk with wish as we think the raise of grace.”
–Calvin Miller, Beeson Divinity School
Birmingham, Alabama
“We are, we all, the richer for this conscientiously crafted and prayerfully rendered collection.”
–Phyllis Tickle, writer, The Divine Hours
“Poetry, not less than the type I write, is written out of rapid desire; it really is written out of discomfort, pleasure, and adventure too nice to be borne till it's ordered into phrases. after which it's written to be shared.”
–Madeleine L’Engle
