Milford

This book of poetry chronicles a year of life lived in spiritual retreat at the Jesuit Spiritual Center in Milford, Ohio. Inspired by Thoreau's "Walden," the Jesuit spiritual tradition, and the theopoetical writings of Rubem Alves, Stephen Dunn, and Dante's La Vita Nuova, this book is an indispensable companion for anyone seeking moments of spiritual community, retreat, and discernment during a structured retreat or within their day-to-day lives.
