Beschreibung
“What gives Sinners Welcome its sharp edge is the poet’s eloquently passionate struggle at the junction of doubt and devotion.” --Washington PostFrom Mary Karr, the prize-winning and New York Times bestselling author of The Liars’ Club, Cherry and Lit, comes Sinners Welcome, her fourth collection of poetry that traces her improbable journey from a tormented childhood into a resolutely irreverent Catholicism.
With the same raw honesty that made her memoirs a phenomenon, these poems grapple with the sacred and the profane:
- Confessional Poetry: Unflinching verses that revisit a tormented Texas childhood and confront family trauma with Karr’s signature dark humor and grace.- Doubt and Devotion: A passionate, often-irreverent dialogue with God from a poet who wrestles with faith as fiercely as she embraces it.- Addiction and Recovery: Honest poems that map the journey from the bottom of a bottle to the hard-won clarity of sobriety, finding grace in the most unexpected places.- The Poetry of Prayer: An exploration of how verse becomes a form of prayer, and how a skeptical mind can find a home in the rituals and mysteries of the Catholic Church.
