Anthology

Work of the Hands

The ordinary work of being human.

This anthology brings together essays, stories, and poetry about work and the ways it shapes a life. Its contributors consider calling, burnout, poverty, dignity, and the values that give a vocation meaning.

Edited and curated by Xavier Schwindt, with contributions from theologians, teachers, storytellers, and poets, Work of the Hands is for anyone who has wondered whether their labor matters—or what it costs when work takes too much.
