This small volume brings together more than fifty of the best-loved devotional poems in English, suitable for contemplative reading or prayer. The poems have been taken from many traditions--mostly Christian, but also from Oriental and Islamic sources. They include mystical poets of the distant past as well as contemporary authors such as Stephen Spender, Thomas Merton and e.e. cummings. The poems themselves are gathered under three different headings--reflecting the journey to God, the times of human life, and heroes and heroines. Seekers of every variety will welcome this gentle and heartfelt collection of devotional verse.
