Highlights

In the title poem of Dan Bellm's Counting, a circle of rabbis in Talmudic times confess to each other ruefully, "I have never in my life prayed with intention...." "I have been counting chickens...." "I have been counting the layers of stone in the wall...." These poems, on a seeking-and-straying spiritual quest of their own, count and recount the layers of days in a life, ranging widely from yearning, elegy and political outrage to passion, devotion, and gratitude.

Review Quotes

Dan Bellm honors the practice of counting: counting time down, counting time forward. And he engages his readers in the practice of marking our moments, and our moment, with unaccountable grace.

-Forrest Hamer, author of Call & Response, Middle Ear, and Rift

Counting offers us Dan Bellm's deft conversational tone and his blending of the deep and the quotidian, with mesmerizing cadences that carry us further into ourselves and further into the wider world, both accountable and accounted for.

-Molly Fisk, author of Listening to Winter and The More Difficult Beauty
