The Cloister Walk

The Cloister Walk

by Kathleen Norris

"It is one of the graces of our time that the best of our contemporary spiritual writers are women who are also poets....Kathleen Norris who can bring alive the old desert fathers and mothers, the saints of the calendar, the idiosyncracies of community life, the travails of small-town living, the joys and pains of marriage and old age." L. S. Cunningham, Commonwealth

A Fairy Godmother personal note about Cloister Walk: If I were sent to a desert island and only allowed five books, this would be one. It's a spiritual treasure.

Kathleen Norris brings poetic magic, and prairie groundedness, to spiritual prose in this book of essays. It's a book that you will wish never ended.
