These poems are zealous and loving, and unexpectedly funny, too. Goddamn it, hear my prayer, the poetic voice says. Doubt this, Jesus says. If that isn't a portrait of every prayer life...

One of the things I love most about this book is that the author includes a suggestion for a piece of Scripture to pray with alongside each poem. It's clear that these poems come from contemplation and want to lead us right back there. I'm so grateful for their guidance.
