Beschreibungen
Interbeing is Eugene Bianchi's fourth collection of poems. It reflects two concerns of later years: first, his own experience of nature--ecology--which has become a spiritual road for his own self-awareness; and secondly, in a larger context, the increasing threat to all life on earth which looms ever-larger with global warming.
These concerns reflect Bianchi's long career as a writer and teacher, first as a member of the Jesuit order and then as a professor of religious studies at Emory University in Atlanta for over thirty years.
This book of poems, coming late in life, makes Bianchi especially aware of the gradual development of one's spirituality. The poems blend the secular and the religious into one voice as specific life events unfold in immigrant beginnings, Jesuit experiences, the ups and downs of being married, the professorial life at Emory, novel and memoir writing, ethical issues of war and peace, and participation in a local Buddhist sangha in the spirit of Thich Nhat Hanh.

“This collection is a mellow saga informed by a life of scholarship and an ever-increasing sensitivity to nature and her rhythms. Bianchi’s poems are inspired by mystics and wisdom writers as well as his beloved cats Max and Tony and a slowly dying cherry tree.”

<br> “Subtitled
<i>New and Selected Poems on Ecological Spirituality</i>, this book encompasses elliptical arcs between the deeply personal, as with the death of his younger brother, and the cosmic. In a time of pandemic, rampant fires, and political rage, Bianchi’s meditative long view into creation serves as a necessary companion and challenge to stay present.”

<br> “This deeply moving, lovingly crafted collection of poems speaks of the difficulty and transcendence of facing life’s joys and sorrows. . . .
<i>Interbeing </i>is filled with honesty, pain, and hope. It shares a magnificent witness of closely examined days. Buy it. Read it slowly. It could change your life.”

<br> “Bianchi’s book,
<i>Interbeing</i>, is a gift to us, because his poems share some experiences of his long and interesting life. Many of them demonstrate not only how observant, insightful and good-humored he is—they also reveal his wisdom.”
