Book Overview
John O'Donohue won hundreds of thousands of admirers with his now classic work on Celtic spirituality, Anam Cara . Just as To Bless the Space Between Us was being published, he died suddenly at the age of fifty-two. His powerfully wise and lyrical voice is profoundly missed, but his many readers are now given a special opportunity to revisit John in his first book, a collection of poetry. O'Donohue's readers know him as both a spiritual guide and a poet. In the same spirit as his bestselling works, readers will be inspired yet again by John's depth of wisdom and artistry.

Fine poetry
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Father John O Donohue is a fine, gifted poet. He is a much better poet than prose writer, in my opinion. So if a person does not enjoy his prose works, they may still enjoy his poetry a great deal. Although he is a priest, his poetry is not explicitly religious. Belief in the afterlife is a strong theme in the poems he writes about death. He gives us beautiful and thought-provoking images, which are simple and based on everyday experience. This makes them easy to visualize and contemplate. Aside from the odd spelling of *anam-cara* (sic) in the dedication, the little bit of Irish Gaelic in this book seems to be spared the problems with typographical errors found in his popular books *Anamchara* and *Eternal Echoes*. I highly recommend this book for those who enjoy fine contemporary poetry.
