"These poems are here for you to read and question, believe in and doubt, and hold up to the light. Hold them up to your doubt and see what happens. Measure them against your faith." This wide-ranging collection asks readers to consider the basis and power of their beliefs-about love, death, God, or even Santa Claus. It features poems from writers including Charles Simic, Rumi, Pablo Neruda, and William Shakespeare. Includes biographical notes and selected readings for each author.
