Dakota: A Spiritual Geography por Kathleen Norris
So in general I'm not a fan of books that are jus essays compiled together, but I was pleasantly surprised by this one. I didn't really connect at all with the first half which was more about the geographic space but I definitely connected more with the spiritual and religious part.

Skimmed it as the topic is not as compelling to me although she is a good writer and acedia (spiritual melancholia) and monks are of interest to those held near and dear.
Norris's memoir of her time at Bennington College, where she became engaged with poetry, which led her to New York City, where she encountered many of the groundbreaking poets of the day, including Jim Carroll, Denise Levertov, Gerard Malanga, Erica Jong, James Merrill, James Wright, and Stanley Kunitz.
Blending history, theology, story, etymology, and memoir, Amazing Grace a Vocabulary of Faith is a journey through language to faith, with each word serving as the occasion for an examination of a particular aspect of the Christian Lexicon.
