These particular selections cohere in their common claim that Love is the most compelling name of God, and also the most apt attribute of the Holy One in Whom we live and move and have our being. In that spirit, these luminous texts are understood to partake of Love, and concurrently to witness to His presence and His promise that, as \"our Courteous Lord\" averred to Julian, \"All will be well, all will be well, all manner of things will be well.\"\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLibrettist, essayist, translator, and author of nine poetry collections, \u003cb\u003eScott Cairns\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of English and Director of the Low-Residency MFA Program at Seattle Pacific University.
