Two dozen select prayer poems to learn from and live with. Poetry and prayer are closely related. We often look to poets to give language to our deepest hopes, fears, losses - and prayers. Poets slow us down. They teach us to stop and go in before we go on. They play at the edges of mystery, holding a tension between line and sentence, between sense and reason, between the transcendent, and the deeply, comfortingly familiar. When Poets Pray contains thoughtful meditations by Marilyn McEntyre on choice poems/prayers and poems about prayer.

So, I sent him a text to meet me at my place in the evening and I left a note on the door telling him anything he wanted was his.

It was just supposed to be pretend. One year. A fake marriage. A billion-dollar inheritance on the line.
