A Zest for Life by Amy Edelstein – Emergence Education – September 2024
“The author explores the evocative correspondence between Teilhard and his cousin, Marguerite Teilhard-Chambon. These letters share the remarkable evolutionary vision of a human soul reaching for greater and greater divinity and have the power to uplift and inspire. In her book Amy turns passages from Teilhard’s these letters into poems, while keeping close to the original text and focusing on Teilhard’s passion for the possible.” (American Teilhard Association 2025)
