The Book of Psalms Used by the Trappist Monks of Genesee Abbey

The Psalter is the prayerbook of the people of God. The tradition of incorporating the Psalter in the teaching and life and worship of the primitive community was maintained in the centuries following the apostolic period and continued to provide a major influence upon the thought and spirituality of Christians throughout patristic times. Perhaps no other book of the Bible has been more fully commented upon and explained than the Psalter, right on through the Middle Ages and into Reformation times. - from Foreward by John Eudes Bamberger, Abbott of the Genesee

A Practical Guide with Instructional CD

Chanting the psalms, or psalmody, is an ancient practice of vital importance in the Christian spiritual tradition. Today many think of it as a discipline that belongs only in monasteries--but psalmody is a spiritual treasure that is available to anyone who prays. You don't need to be musical or a monk to do it, and it can be enjoyed in church liturgical worship, in groups, or even individually as part of a personal rule of prayer. Cynthia Bourgeault brings the practice into the twenty-first century, providing a history of Christian psalmody as well as an appreciation of its place in contemplative practice today. And she teaches you how to do it as you chant along with her on the accompanying CD in which she demonstrates the basic techniques and easy melodies that anyone can learn. "Even if you can't read music," Cynthia says, "or if somewhere along the way you've absorbed the message that your voice is no good or you can't sing on pitch, I'll still hope to show you that chanting the psalms is accessible to nearly everyone."

A New Gathering of American Avant Garde Poetry, 1914-1945

Jerome Rothenberg has raised the anthology to an art form. Poems for the Millenium (U. of California, 1995/7) reevaluated modernism from a global perspective. America a Prophecy diversified the canon long before "multiculturalism". And his 1973 Revolution of the Word remains the unparalleled collection of American avant garde writing from between the wars. Out of print for 20 years, it is routinely xeroxed for college courses both because it contains works that are otherwise unavailable, and because it places some of the most popular writers of the century -- e.e cummings, T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein -- in their original context. A classic and influential publication that deserves to be in every poetry collection.
