A Word in My Mouth

Arts & Literature

“Over decades, Robert Cording has created a body of poetry that can bear serious comparison with the tradition of English-language spiritual poetry. What marks Cording as a poet in this tradition is his quiet insistence on the value of inwardness in an age devoted to external distraction and his willingness to keep examining and feeling. There is no epiphany mongering in these poems. Rather, there is commitment to the crucial nature of provisional truth.”

Faith and Madness

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Sarah Slagle Arnold's memoir manages the great feat of being harrowing and genuinely uplifting at the same time. It is adroitly observed and shot through with great feeling for an era, for the struggles of those around her, and for her own struggles. The fact of her faith is exactly that--a fact that remains in her life and shows the depth and importance of spiritual commitment. This is a brave and loving book.”

The Wavering Fledge of Light

Arts & Literature

“Lawrence Wray’s poems are visionary in the truest sense of the word. They show us visions of places, times and scenes that are, at once, in time and timeless, present and historical, personal and mythic, fanciful and factual. What is particularly remarkable is that all these domains interpenetrate. The poet treads lightly but firmly and achieves in poem after poem a resonance that is uncanny.”
