Description
"Thought-provoking, poignant, brutal, amusing, and always
beautiful." -- Elizabeth Berg
Hurrying through errands, attending a dying mother, helping her
own child down the playground slide, the speaker in these poems
wonders: what is the difference between the self and the soul? The
secular and the sacred? Where is the kingdom of heaven? And how
does one live in Ordinary Time -- during those periods that are not
apparently miraculous?
