Review "Tender, erotic and wise" - Diane Musho Hamilton, author of Everything is Workable"If you meet these poems where they live, you will find yourself astonished, standing in the garden, surrounded by providence all along. " - Stuart Davis, Artist "McNamara tricks marks on paper onto their feet so as to bring us to ours." - Charles O. Hartman, Poet in Residence, Connecticut College
From the Author Just under a year ago on zen retreat, during the first morning meditation (candles lit, incense rising), I felt a rush of love move up my body and (silently, viscerally) say: "Get up early. Every day. Write poems again. A book is coming." My son, Lundin, was eight months old at the time. The idea of writing a book seemed possibly insane.I hadn't written many poems for over a decade since my college thesis. But something about that call from who-knows-where in meditation that morning put me under a spell - of sheer curiosity for what I'd find if I actually followed through. Not in my head, but actually. Not in fantasy, but with my real, tired, working-mothering self every damn, glorious morning. As an experiment, I began summoning myself out of bed (too) early, trying not to wake my husband and son. In the dark, I'd rise and sneak-fumble to a hot cup of coffee and the blank page. It often somehow felt like my first and/or last day alive. What is there to say from that perspective? Sometimes, nothing at all. I would sit and stare in dumb wonderment. Something about that holy hour before dawn and the confrontation with the page just brought me to my knees. But sometimes, voices came to meet me - either my own at its most human or, in some cases, voices I don't quite recognize as my own that spoke to and through me in the early hours. These voices have kept my heart soft and my laughter strong through tired and mundane moments. They've kept me sane and inspired, and that's why I'm compelled to share them with you. These voices are good company, and I regard them as real friends. So writing this book has not felt like a choice, really. I have participated as fully as possible with something that's felt inevitable and necessary: uncovering my own unique conversation with inspiration. I still can't say what it is exactly. But for me it is worth living for and worth dying for, and I vow to hunt, seduce, and share it. My wish for Feed Your Vow is that the sweet, hard-won inspiration I encountered in writing it becomes contagious for you as you enter and explore it. This is the magic that truly feeds my vow. Thank you from the center of my heart.

This is beside the desk poetry. Not the quick-faux-inspirational-cat-on-a-poster kind but the-carry-in-my backpack-read-one-between-meetings-for-a-quick-and-real-life-surge kind. The roll-one-sentence-around -in-your-mouth-and -heart kind. The send-to-a-best-friend-with-a-new-baby kind. The write-on-paper-and eat-secretly kind. There are many ways to feed your vow, McNamara gives us pages of prose, a spoon and a fork, and says "Open Wide."
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. One poem and I already found myself falling into fullness By Robert Mcnamara I've just begun reading this lovely book. Stuart's foreword is one of the most immersive and gripping forewords I have ever read. The first poem I read flowered something exquisite inside my mind. By the time I finished reading this prose the conventional barriers of my mind had been gently tumbled aside. I found my awareness settled into a more vivid and liberated seat inside myself. This book is going to be a part of my daily life - one poem a day - for "falling into fullness" as Brooke calls it. That's been my experience thus far. Enjoy!
