St. Nadie in Winter: Zen Encounters with LonelinessSt. Nadie in Winter is a spiritual autobiography that includes Zen poetry, memoir, and raw insight. There are no easy answers to be found, no easy prescriptions in this stunning twenty-first century Buddhist book. Keenan's world-his boyhood Catholicism, his alcoholism, his struggle to maintain honest relationships with his wife and children, his work as a poet and librarian, his Zen practice—offers a road map for any reader grappling with the dark night of the soul. |
