Publisher's Synopsis
The Orison Anthology aims to not only fill, but expand, the space left by the absence of The Best American Spiritual Writing series. In addition to reprinted material, each year the anthology will also include new, previously unpublished works of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry by the winners of The Orison Anthology Awards, judged by different prominent writers each year. Contributors to the 2017 volume include Anne Carson, Marilyn Nelson, Justin Torres, Christian Wiman, Phillip B. Williams, Kaveh Akbar, Leila Chatti, and many others.
