      'Devotions' Collects Five Decades Of Poetry By Mary Oliver

      Oct 18, 2017

      The first thing one notices about Devotions, a survey of Mary Oliver’s poems from more than five decades, is how big the book is – unusually so. At more than 400 pages, it registers palpably on the lap, a pleasant anchor through an autumn afternoon.

      Daily Prayer with the Corrymeela Community - Pádraig Ó Tuama

      Reading Pádraig Ó Tuama’s marvellous new book is like living inside a prayer. Consoling and inviting, challenging and inspiring, his beautiful meditations and luminous prayers will help you reflect more deeply on God’s poetic action in your life. James Martin SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage

      You hold in your hand a month’s worth of recipes for spiritual nourishment. They are simple: it will only take a few moments to prepare your heart to make room for them. They are deep: as soon as you have used them for a month, you will want to begin again because each reading invites you deeper. I’ve never seen a book of prayers like this one. I think this is just what my soul needs.

      Brian D. McLaren, author of The Great Spiritual Migration

      In this beautiful collection of simple lucid prayers Pádraig Ó Tuama invites us to lay our trinkets aside and turn to our treasure. And this anthology is indeed a treasure: prayers that turn hostility towards hospitality, prayers that help us say what we mean and not we thought we were meant to mean. This book will help any reader to be ‘honest to God’, and in that honesty, encounter afresh the love that casts out fear. Each of these prayers offers a rich, poetic response to the words of Jesus, utterly free of cant and religious jargon, a surprising and refreshing companion for all of us on the Emmaus Road.

      Malcolm Guite, priest, poet, author Parable and Paradox

      Oh I need this book of prayers! They find me where I am, and as I am – alive, human, exiled – and resuscitate an ancient way to a true reconciliation within myself, with others, and with a power greater than myself. I do not need to be ashamed. The stones over which we stumble can be made into altars. And Jesus is returned to me as a person of presence and imagination, able to listen and to heal by his close attention – a living guide to the power of radical love.

      Marie Howe, State Poet of New York (2012–2014)

      When the merest mention of religion and politics hints at hopelessness and hostility without end, Daily Prayer from the Corrymeela Community offers us a way forward, conjuring a healing space in which to be human together. As Pádraig Ó Tuama sees it, to pray is to imagine, to take up the art that names our desires, our confusions and curiosities, and gives them form. This collection invites us to experience old rhythms as fresh revelations and new language as deeply in sync with ancient life-giving witness.

      David Dark, author of Life’s Too Short To Pretend You’re Not Religious and a professor of religion and literature in Nashville
