That selection is pared down to twenty or so very best pieces by a guest editor who is widely recognized as a leading writer in his or her field. The latest addition to the esteemed Best American series is a collection of the best spiritual writing of the year, introduced by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jack Miles and including both prose and poetry. Since its inception in 1915, the Best American series has become the premier annual showcase for the country's finest short fiction and nonfiction. Series editor Philip Zaleski has chosen the volume's pieces with an eye to spirituality's many guises, from its impact on personal relationships and the environment to politics, creativity, and literature. Christian, Muslim, Jewish, secular, and pan-Hindu perspectives are all represented in these pieces, which have been selected from both mainstream and more specialized periodicals.. For each volume, a series editor reads pieces from hundreds of periodicals, then selects between fifty and a hundred outstanding works. This unique system has helped make the Best American series the most respected -- and most popular -- of its kind

Philip Zaleski has selected an excellent collection of essays and poems that reflect a wide range of spiritual-related ideas, musings, stories and expressions.The number of essays is over twice that of poems but the volume of writing in the essays is probably fifty-fold that of the poems, so if you are looking for poetry, this is not the best source.Keep in mind that the group is of 'spiritual' writing and not 'Christian', meaning that from essay to essay, idealogies will vary so much that at times you will

With few misses and many hits, the collection is a thought-provoking and often poignant read. Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. From Publishers Weekly Readers of Zaleski's anthologies will be glad to know that, after a yearlong hiatus, his spirituality series has found a new home with Houghton Mifflin's Best American books. .

Bus driver Robin Cody, for example, pays touching tribute to "birth-damaged or world-beaten children," and memoirist Lindsey Crittenden describes depression, death, her mother and the kind of prayer that is "pure throw of yourself into the unknown."
