Marilyn McEntyre shares her thoughts on poems that include prayers. The book could be used in daily devotions as she begins with a poem and then shares somewhere in the neighborhood of three to five pages of thoughts on it. Some poets included are Hildegard of Bingen, Thomas Merton, George Herbert, John Donne, Robert Frost, Wendell Berry, Gerald Manley Hopkins, T. S. Eliot, the author herself, and even King David. When I first began reading the volume, I tried to read a large section. I quickly decided to focus on two to three poems per day on days when I read it. It worked well for me that way. The book includes an introduction and an afterward with ways readers can incorporate poetry into their own prayer lives. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Two dozen select prayer poems to learn from and live with Poetry and prayer are closely related. We often look to poets to give language to our deepest hopes, fears, losses--and prayers. Poets slow us down. They teach us to stop and go in before we go on. They play at the edges of mystery, holding a tension between line and sentence, between sense and reason, between the transcendent and the deeply, comfortingly familiar. When Poets Pray contains thoughtful meditations by Marilyn McEntyre on choice poems/prayers and poems about prayer. Her beautifully written reflections are contemplative exercises, not scholarly analyses, meant more as invitation than instruc¬tion. Here McEntyre shares gifts that she herself has received from poets who pray, or who reflect on prayer, believing that they have other gifts to offer readers seeking spiritual companionship along our pilgrim way.
