Day To Day Dante

Dante has it right: we are on more than a journey; we are on a pilgrimage. Author Dennis Patrick Slattery, who has been teaching Dantes works for more than twenty years, believes that our life stories are embedded in the journey of this pilgrim. In Day-to-Day Dante, Slattery presents passages from Dante Alighieris fourteenth-century poem The Divine Comedy to assist you in searching for the core elements of your personal myth. Day-to-Day Dante is divided into 365 entries and reflections so you may explore and meditate on one page per day for a year. Each entry and reflection is followed by a writing meditation to help you arrive at your own insights about your personal travels and travails. This examination of Dantes pilgrimage will help you deepen the understanding of yourself and the larger political, social, and religious worlds. Through Day-to-Day Dante you can connect more deeply with your own narrative, following Dantes journey from out of a dark wood to a vision of the transcendent.
