The acclaimed anthology series that Publishers Weekly’s starred review called ‘a significant addition to the spiritual literature of our time’ returns with the year’s outstanding prose and poetry on prayer, enlightenment, love, holy places, and other spiritual topics.

The debut volume of this annual anthology series garnered critical plaudits and an impressive following. Drawing on essays and poems that first appeared in periodicals as well as on previously unpublished matierals, the 1998 edition covered the whole range of religious traditions and spiritual topics and included contributions from many notable writers. This new edition will showcase inspiring, insightful writings by authors of similar stature – likely contributors include Ursula K. LeGuin, Mary Gordon, Philip Levine, Thomas Moore, and Wendell Berry.
