Poetry

  1. Moving into Light, Luci Shaw – Luci Shaw has to be one of my most favorite contemporary Christian poets.   You will definitely find her poems showing up on my blog.
  2. Selected Poetry of Jessica Powers – Jessica was a Carmelite nun.  Some comments on her poetry: “What is so attractive about the poetry of Jessica Powers is both its realism regarding the human condition and its affirmation of God and life.”  “Always aware of the dark side of human nature and of pain and purification as necessary companions on the journey, Jessica Powers nevertheless believes in light and chooses it.  She is a contemporary poet in the ancient tradition of John of the Cross.”
  3. Neither Be Afraid and other poems, Sister Miriam Pollard, O.C.S.O. (Ignatius Press).
  4. Summon Spirit’s Cry, a Collection of Poems, Mother Mary Francis, P.C.C. (Ignatius Press).
  5. Circle of Grace, Jan Richardson.  A book of blessings for every season.
