About the Author

Brian Doyle is the editor of Portland Magazine at the University of Portland in Oregon and is the author of fourteen books of essays, stories, "proems," nonfiction and fiction.

Review

"While the spiritual may be hard to describe 'except with such ephemeral gossamer murk as epiphany, or awakening or shiver of the heart,' notes editor Doyle, this essay collection demonstrates how effectively good writers can capture wonder within human existence, with little or no murk whatsoever.... With his keen eye for excellent spiritual writing, explicitly religious or not, Doyle offers an array of choices that may, in his words, 'open the most stunning doors.' " --Publishers Weekly (starred review)
