“I think that Phyllis was a poet first and foremost, before anything else. Here she has attentively gathered all of the poems she wished to preserve from the last half century. A handful of them were written in the last few years. This book should surprise a lot of people. It honestly leaves me breathless.” —Jon M. Sweeney, editor of Phyllis Essential Spiritual Writings (Orbis), and author of the biography, Phyllis Tickle (forthcoming)
