-- Table of Poems from Poem Finder®

Editors Craig and McCann have assembled a varied and interesting collection of unabashedly modern and even Modernist poems on Catholic themes arranged around the liturgical calendar. Selections include writings from familiar or known voices such as Thomas Merton, Robert Fitzgerald, and Annie Dillard, as well as excellent but less-well-known poets such as Amy Fleury, Kathryn Young, and Frank Stewart. It is taken somewhat for granted that contemporary serious writing is ir-or even anti-religious; this splendid collection of poems should go a long way toward diminishing the possibilities of faith in poetry. Highly Recommended.
