      The characters in these 16 stories run the gamut from slow sizzle to high sass. Set mostly in the Pacific Northwest, these plainspoken parables are infused with the raw sepia inflections of the Old West, but still speak to contemporary life. Reminiscent of great short story writers such as Flannery O'Connor, Gallagher's immensely skilled prose animates these no-nonsense alcoves of love and sometimes irresolvable loss, of human pain and healing.

      Brimming over with the inspirational words and thoughts of some of our finest writers, Cries of the Spirit is a beautiful sourcebook of poetry and prose in praise of life and all that it entails. Here women's voices fill the age-old silence about matters central to their experience-from menstruation, sexual intimacy, and childbirth to caretaking, household rituals, and death. These writings represent a healing vision of the sacred that emerges from the particular consciousness of women-a vision that partakes of the world of earth and flesh.
