Journey Work

“Learning the craft of writing, for me, has been a way to grow in authenticity,” Edward A. Dougherty writes. “And if we’re lucky, these questions never resolve themselves completely or for long.” In the 18 remarkable essays of Journey Work, Dougherty reveals his development as poet, teacher, and peacemaker, inviting readers to consider how they too are moving toward wholeness within themselves and toward mutuality with others, even those labeled as other or enemy. Journey Work is a deeply personal book for Dougherty and an indispensable guide for any on the path of art-making, which is the way of soul-making.
