Holding Patterns: A Collection of Words on Ritual

A walk. A cigarette. A laundry cycle. A prayer.



From the ceremonial to the subliminal, ritual works its way into each of our lives.



This book of poems, prose, and short stories is a collection of words from 29 voices on rituals of every kind, and the ways that they save us, challenge us, and utterly shape who we are.
