Jeanine Hathaway is a poet who knows how to dance along the edge of the precipice. As a former Dominican nun, a mother, and a teacher, she understands that the stakes in life are high, that love is haunted by fear, faith dogged by doubt, and professional life complicated by ego. And yet her skeptical eye remains wedded to a lyrical sense of the ways in which the good can be experienced...and celebrated. Take a turn or two with her.
She has been published in numerous journals and anthologies, including DoubleTake, The Georgia Review, and The Best Spiritual Writing. She received the Wichita State University Regents' Award for Excellence in Teaching in 1993, as well as the Seaton Award for Poetry in both 1985 and 1990, and the 2001 Vassar Miller Prize for Poetry.
These poems were recorded at the 2007 Glen Workshop.

Loved the phrase "God whose beguiling privacy unsettles the heart" to which I say "oh, yes"

"the (left) hand that will be next to God as we pass around the desserts"
