Description for One Long River of Song: Notes on Wonder
Review 'The first pleasure of reading Doyle lies in being swept away by the deft melding of his two most distinctive qualities, his sentences and his sensibility. How he loved sentences. And how he loved the world. Form and content never fit more hand in glove...I don't know a writer who more reliably or with such seeming ease plucks genuine epiphanies fresh from the ether. The ubiquity of these is testament to Doyle's craft or, perhaps, the quality of his attention...One Long River of Song demonstrates what Doyle's writing has always demonstrated, that when you find the courage to pay attention and be open to love, you can trust that 'doing your chosen work with creativity and diligence will shiver people far beyond your ken.''?Scott F. Parker, The Oregonian'The essays in One Long River of Song are truly staggering--as close as stones in our palms, and as vast as the sky. Brian Doyle's voice is full of tender pivots, keen wit, and startling joy, summoning all of us to pay more passionate attention to the world.'?Leslie Jamison, author of the New York Times bestsellers The Empathy Exams and The Recovering'A posthumous collection of stunning mystical prose...Doyle's prose is so expansive and dripping with visceral detail that even the briefest vignettes are often a wondrous adventure. This brilliant compendium of spiritual musings will resonate with people of any faith--or of none.'?Kirkus (starred review)'A generous, posthumous collection [with] the rhythm of poems and the lyricism of songs...infused with qualities of spirit, goodness, and grace. Doyle was a wonderful stylist...he is generous, almost profligate in filling his work with [love]...readers will be equally grateful for this lovely book and its beautiful contents.'?Michael Cart, Booklist (starred review)'Doyle's curiosity is insatiable and his self-described Celtic-mystic disposition spots the transcendent regularly. As much haunted by the language of James Joyce as the lessons of Jesus, Doyle sees and celebrates what happens every day in each essay of this eclectic collection. This 'best-of' should enlarge his circle of admirers.'?Publishers Weekly'Dazzling... Doyle's writing bursts with vivid descriptions...a renewed opportunity for more readers to discover the insight and humanity of his work...Doyle's brand of theology will appeal to fans of the work of writers like Anne Lamott...readers fortunate enough to discover the many pleasures of Brian Doyle's work here will be grateful, too, for that encounter.'?Harvey Freedenberg, Shelf AwarenessPraise for Brian Doyle:'Brian Doyle wrote more powerfully about faith than anyone in his generation.'?Ian Frazier'[Doyle's essays] were my favorites.'?Mary Oliver'We're in rough waters.... What we need are the old words, the ones that have lasted the longest: courage, love, reverence, justice. Whatever our metaphors, Brian, that's what the bunch of us you brought together were trying to say.... You walked in beauty, my dear friend.'?Barry Lopez, in a tribute written after Brian's death Read more About the Author Brian Doyle (1956-2017) was born in New York and attended the University of Notre Dame.
