Poetry about contemporary spiritual life, written in non-churchy language. Passionate, sometimes funny, often startling meditations on Catholic tradition, the gospel of Mark, and scenes from the life of a seeker of the "boomer" generation. Written by a believer, these poems are meant to bring the reader into both sympathy and confrontation with Christian tradition. They engage the interest, curiosity, and spiritual hunger of non-believers through arresting metaphors and unusual viewpoints, and are full of ideas but not academic, full of feeling but not moody -- they are unsettling for know-it-alls, challenging for skeptics, helpful for catechists, inspirational for preachers, and good company in prayer.
