How the Light Gets In

Sixty prose poems (“proems,” by the author’s reckoning) on matterstheological, spiritual, and mystical. White a bit outside Orbis’traditional spirituality offerings, this book will offer readers alyrical but commonsense take on the ways grace, prayer, sin, suffering,and redemption play out in our daily lives.Doyle’s “proems” arelyrical creations resemble poetry, but devoid of any meter or typicalpoetic structure – and yet they are not strictly prose either. Thesesixty selections will focus on the mundane and the everyday, but with atheological and a spiritual focus/gloss. Some will also be explicitlytheological.Doyle is a prominent Catholic writer and editor, andhis reflections in journals ranging from America to Harper’s to The NewYork Times have earned him a significant following in the field ofCatholic spiritual writing. In his previous books and articles, he haswritten spiritual/theological glosses on everything from fatherhood tobasketball to religious vocations to his Sunday school classroom.Brian Doyle;
