The Poem that has Touched Lives Around the World.
A beautiful presentation of Oriah's signature prose poem, preceded by a chapter relating the full life story behind the poem and then followed by a chapter on the life of the poem and its remarkable effect on people's lives, including her own.
The prose poem 'The Invitation' was originally passed from reader to reader over the internet and hand-to-hand; it was these readers who helped make the book a best-seller. This small, beautifully presented book, incorporating the poem and two short additional new chapters by Oriah, gives old and new readers the beloved poem in a fresh way, as a gift for others or oneself.
The often moving and sometimes funny chapters give a fresh, full account of how the poem came to be, and then discuss the life of the poem after it was written and circulated to so many readers, via the internet, photocopies, and eventually the full book 'The Invitation'. Artwork accompanies each paragraph of the poem.
