All of the poems she includes carry a prayerful tone and depth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePrayer, like poetry, is an act of imagination; the former contains or harbors a form of poiesis, a Greek word that suggests a making or forming or shaping something into a coherent form. One cannot help but sense Beth's struggles and achievements as she negotiates that narrow gap between poetry and prayer, if indeed there is a gap at all. . . . Her poems are continual surprises at life's uncertainties bumping up against life's claimed securities. In the tension between these two is the ellipses of life . . . where we are asked to fill in what we live and how we live it. Her poems are fine and lasting guides to such a meditative place of prayer.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dennis Patrick Slattery, Beth Anne Boardman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1950186253\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781950186259\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mandorla Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/28\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.51w x 0.29d","brand":"Dennis Patrick Slattery","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44540663759103,"sku":"9781950186259","price":6.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_87b5bbf3-c11f-44d0-8a98-a59c779e4eb9.jpg?v=1700589177","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/songs-from-the-depths-dennis-patrick-slattery-9781950186259","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
