Abiding Time (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780899241951)

Abiding Time, Robert McNamara's fourth collection of poems, features a clear, direct and considered voice reminiscent, at times, of Herrick and Marvel, but fully contemporary. In poem after poem attention, reflection, and a sweeping, multi-faceted faith emerge as ingredients without which the individual life cannot be either fully known or lived. This book is a real contribution to the meditative tradition in American poetry.
