THE CLOISTER WALK
In the tradition of Thomas Merton, Kathleen Norris gives us an intimate look at how religious life fills a gap in the soul. Her poetic sensibilities internalize the monastery as a symbol of spirituality, with its sanctity and humor, questioning and uncertainty, rhythm and vigor. Beyond moral precepts and Bible stories, Cloister Walk is a very personal account of religion lived fully. It depicts a depth and beauty of spirituality in monastic life that has survived the vicissitudes of Roman Catholic politics and pomp. Paperback, 416 pages.

WALKING WITH KATHLEEN NORRIS:
A Contemplative Journey
Writer Robert Waldron's response to his reading-journey through the work, both prose and poetry, of Kathleen Norris, author of the best selling The Cloister Walk. As in his other books, Walking with Thomas Merton and Walking with Henri Nouwen, Waldron devoted three seasons (spring, summer, fall) to reading Norris, a major commentator on modern spirituality. This is the first full-length commentary on her work to be published. In order to get to know her, the author carefully read and responded to her work in a daily journal. He chose the journal format because of its intimacy, allowing for spontaneity and quicksilver insights. It also permits the reader a glimpse into the author's soul-scape and will inspire readers of this book to read Norris's work, especially The Cloister Walk, which Waldron considers to be one of the major spiritual autobiographies of the 20th century, ranking with Thomas Merton's The Seven Storey Mountain. Paperback, 99 pages.
