Thirty Days on Retreat with the Exercises of Saint Ignatius
Paul Mariani
Viking Compass, $23.95, 279 pp.
I got up and rushed to the window, prying open the outer aluminum storm window, and greedily sucked in all the air I could. It took ten or fifteen minutes to steady myself, and when the panic began to subside, I went down to chapel to pray and recover some vestige of peace." Is this man a drama king, wannabe mystic, or the real deal--a saint in the making? Paul Mariani, award-winning poet and biographer of, among others, William Carlos Williams and Gerard Manley Hopkins, invites us to accompany him on his daily experience of an Ignatian thirty-day retreat.
