The Kingdom of Ordinary Time by Marie Howe

"Thought-provoking, poignant, brutal, amusing, and always beautiful." -- Elizabeth Berg Hurrying through errands, attending a dying mother, helping her own child down the playground slide, the speaker in these poems wonders: what is the difference between the self and the soul? The secular and the sacred? Where is the kingdom of heaven? And how does one live in Ordinary Time -- during those periods that are not apparently miraculous?
