- Summary:
- Each volume in this insightful series offers a particular poet's writings as a means to deepen one's prayer, since poetry--like prayer--is a "language of the heart." A great way to explore the connection between culture and religion, literature and life. Discover a poet who desperately struggled with lifelong doubt, yet whose every poem became a prayer. Emily Dickinson sought the truth with raw honesty, and boldly asked hard questions about identity and destiny.
