An inspiring book of poetry that leads us deeper into the mystery that is God. In this new volume of poetry, Pier Giorgio Di Cicco celebrates the presence of God—the God of love, the One we discover in our encounters with others. Even when God seems hidden, there is no escaping God. Di Cicco’s use of stark but wondrous images and metaphors makes us think twice, but always leads us deeper into the mystery that is God. “The poems in Names of Blessing are love songs: they speak to the heart and from the heart; they soar and lilt; they are epiphanies of affection and conduits of grace; they disclose the innermost feelings of the lover; they are unabashed celebrations of the Divine Lover.” —Michael Higgins, author of Heretic Blood: The Spiritual Geography of Thomas Merton and Stalking the Holy: In Pursuit of Saint Making
