About this book
“Life on Pleasant Street is a mixture of the simple and the beautiful, the ugly and the hard. And it teaches you.”
From the little Franciscan friary on Pleasant Street in Cincinnati’s inner city, Murray Bodo writes short letters, in prose and in poems, about the neighbors on their stoops, riding the bus, cooking for the brothers, coffee in the rain and the poor at the door.
Along the way he teaches us about inner-city life, and even more about himself and ourselves: poverty, relationships, writing, celibacy, Francis, wasting time, old age, patience, praying and living simply.
A pocket-sized book with photographs by the author, John Quigley, OFM, and Susan Saint Sing.
