29 writers on the habits, ceremonies, and quiet practices that shape who we are

A walk. A cigarette. A laundry cycle. A prayer.

From the ceremonial to the ordinary, ritual works its way into every life — and into every piece in this collection. Poems, prose, and short stories from 29 contributors explore the ways our rituals save us, challenge us, and quietly make us who we are.
