Light On Dark Water

I've been reading The Best Catholic Writing 2007, an excellent anthology from Loyola Press. I ordered it mainly as a gesture of support for Dawn Eden (see links at right), who has a piece in it, but it's proved to be an excellent collection overall. I've read something over half of it now and am not hesitant to recommend it on that basis. The editor, Jim Manney, has done a fine job of covering the spectrum of Catholic opinion, with no noticeable extra-religious agenda, and has included writers ranging from the Pope to bloggers.

I'm not at all sure I agree—no, wait, I'm pretty sure I disagree —with the guy who thinks Bruce Springsteen is "the greatest Catholic poet of our time," but that's ok. Dawn Eden's piece, by the way, is on her blog, and I remember thinking at the time it appeared that it was excellent. But I'm not going to link to it. Buy the book.
