# The Rented Violin - Hardcover

by **Karen Whalley** (Author)

The first book by a poet who finds the numinous in ordinary things. At first glance the poems seem to concern ordinary domestic life--but they also take us deeply into the spiritual realm. Whaley shows us how beautiful and valuable are the parts of our lives we tend to overlook.
