Being Here

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Being Here teaches us not just where poetry, prayer, and the history of literature intersect. It shows us how to get to that intersection, how to dwell in a place of ambiguities with the certainty of our souls, and how to use these ambiguities to thrive daily. No reader of Pádraig Ó Tuama will be surprised by this as his work—his poems that dare and surprise us—is always the work of spiritual reckoning through well-crafted language.”
