Splendour Among Thorns: Prayer Poems from the Spirit Path

By Thomas Curley

In this, his second volume of poetry, author Thomas Curley invites us as companions on a journey into his most intimate reflections and contemplations of spiritual life. Culled from journals kept since 1979, the 23 works selected for inclusion herein date from 1991 - 2000, a period of deep introspection when the author sought the balance of maintaining a relationship with God while assuming the responsibilities of secular adult life. "There had been some dark, soul-searching moments in my youth" Curley writes, "but, privately, the close kinship with God through prayer that I maintained was what always got me through."
Curley's poetry enables us to reacquaint ourselves with the fundamental values that define the best potential versions of ourselves as individuals, a society and species: compassion, gratitude, forgiveness, acceptance, love, and kindness.
