Journey : new and selected poems, 1969-1999 / Kathleen Norris.

Pittsburgh, Pa. : University of Pittsburgh Press, ©2001.

131 pages : portrait ; 24 cm.

Norris's poems speak about the changes we experience in birth and death, in the search for community, and in the cultural legacies and family stories that form us. Included are poems from Norris's earlier collections, including The Middle of the World, Little Girls in Church, and The Astronomy of Love, along with a generous selection of new work that continues her radically individual celebration of the sacredness of life.
