This review is from: Delicious Air (Book of the Year by the Conference on Christianity and Literature) (Paperback)
This blurb is on the Jacket:
Tania Runyan's wise and elegant poems in Delicious Air accomplish small miracles: They alchemize the ordinary into the extraordinary. Whether Runyan is considering mortality, motherhood, the mysteries of the body and soul, or the power of love, her poems are awash with insight and grace--their truths always poignant and moving. Here is a poetic debut to celebrate, a new voice singing its gentle laments and hallelujahs, a poet who "cannot stop leaning over / the verge of possibility" -- Maurya Simon This is is my review: Tania Runyan's Delicious Air is one of the most powerful and beautiful collections I have ever read. This book is a treasure. -- Leah Maines

This review is from: Delicious Air (Book of the Year by the Conference on Christianity and Literature) (Paperback)
An intricate exploration of faith and everyday life that recently won Book of the Year in Christianity and Literature--an honor that Runyan now shares with Umberto Eco and other authors of note.

original, brave & poignant,

This review is from: Delicious Air (Book of the Year by the Conference on Christianity and Literature) (Paperback)
Tania Runyan's poems will strike emotional chords with people of many faiths. As a mother of a daughter, I was especially touched by "Instructions for My Daughter's Nurse," and as one who also ran cross-country in high school, I flashed back to fond memories when reading "Running at Thirteen." You don't need to be a college English professor to appreciate "Teaching Shakespeare" -- this piece will resonate with anyone who's ever been a college student. All in all, this is a 'delicious' read - I highly recommend to lovers of poetry!
