Habits is a collection of 100-word stories based on the lives of Benedictine Sisters in Minnesota. The source material is primarily the stories and oral histories of the Sisters of the Order of Saint Benedict in St. Joseph, Minnesota. In the 1950s, they were the largest Benedictine order in the world. These pieces, somewhere between poetry and prose, explore their daily lives of work, prayer and community.

The Way of All the Earth
poems by Susan Sink
These poems have a visual richness, narrative depth and lyric beauty that invites the reader into their world. That world is populated by women in the grips of religious fanaticism, drunkards and lovers, mothers and sisters, and at the center of it a young woman trying to find the words to tell the tale of a life and make sense of the way we all struggle to cope with life’s burdens and recognize life’s beauty. These poems tell the story of the way we all do the best we can to love and life. As one poem says, “It wasn’t the healing, ever, that mattered. / It was the love, even done this poorly, / what little we could do with what the world allowed: / our battered hands and this God.”
