Lyrical, eerie, haunted, sing-song, blunt, intellectually demanding and often funny, some of these poems rhyme, some don''t. Covering California territory from the Los Angeles basin to the Point Reyes peninsula, and using characters adapted from Malaysian creation stories, themes of Buddhist meditation practice, and quirky contemplations of Catholic Sister Fishwick, the pilgrim voice heard in The Knot Garden ponders the question: What is the shape of the world? Not simply the planet itself, but the spiritual story we tell to understand our place in it. Without a story, a spiritual world-view, it is difficult to know how to choose rightly our actions in life. When it seems the coherence of our world view may be overwhelmed by spiritual chaos and ecological destruction brought about in part by the fragmentation of modernity, these poems affirm that recombinant, re-weaviing, re-gathering powers of creative nature can lead us through its disintegration on a path open to faith. This second edition contains an afterword by Janet Nippell.
