The rhythms and structures of society were all once set by religion, but now for many, faith is no longer enough. Picking up from where she left off in Doubt: A History, Jennifer Michael Hecht suggests that poetry can fill that void. Hecht o?ers ways to mine and adapt the useful aspects of tradition and to replace what no longer feels true. Through the poetic wisdom of such authors as Sappho, Rumi, Shakespeare, Tagore, Frost, Szymborska, and Angelou, Hecht offers spiritual guidance rooted in the everyday.
