A God in the House by Ilya Kaminsky

Literary Nonfiction. Poetry. Editors Ilya Kaminsky and Katherine Towler have gathered conversations with nineteen of America's leading poets, reflecting upon their diverse experiences with spirituality and the craft of writing. Bringing together poets who are Christian, Buddhist, Jewish, Muslim, Pagan, Native American, Wiccan, agnostic, and otherwise, this book offers frank and thoughtful consideration of themes too often polarized and politicized in our society. Participants include Li-Young Lee, Jane Hirshfield, Carolyn Forch , Gerald Stern, Christian Wiman, Joy Harjo, and Gregory Orr, and others, all wrestling with difficult questions of human existence and the sources of art.

Katherine Towler is the author of the novels Snow Island, Evening Ferry, and Island Light, as well as co-editor of A God in the House: Writers Discuss Religion with Ilya Kaminsky. She earned her bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan and her master's and doctoral degrees in writing and literature from Johns Hopkins University and Middlebury College, respectively. Yaddo, the Virginia Institute for the Creative Arts, the Bread Loaf Writers' Festival, and the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts have all given her fellowships, and she was a Bennett Fellow at Phillips Exeter Academy. She resides in Portsmouth with her husband and teaches in the MFA Department in Writing at Southern New Hampshire University.
