Communion is Carolyn Brigit Flynn�� offering of love poems to the divine, addressed in these poems as Beloved. The poems invoke the author�� movement from an urban Catholic childhood
into an embodied communion with the sacred presence of the Earth. Inspired by Rainer Maria Rilke�� Book of Hours, each poem uses one of Rilke�� lines as its title and springboard.
Communion addresses timeless issues of spiritual awakening, loss and communion, and moves the reader through longing and moments of spiritual aloneness into a vivid connection with the
sacred Beloved that is resilient and integrated into the rhythms of daily life.
