Writing we invoke. If it is ever to be anything more than a display of cleverness, writing is an act of prayer. We seek out; we ask for; we hope to receive something from beyond what we think. What we think we know. The craft of writing, looking for the right form, the right word, turn of phrase, rhythm, rhyme… these are all elements of prayer. Each instance an invocation. We ask for wisdom, for beauty, for some kind of clarity to make itself present.
