 A Sudden CertaintyYou will not find in this book poetry that is explicitly Catholic or explicitly devotional. Instead Fr. Longenecker tries in his "Priest Poems" to find God locked in the ordinary experiences of life, creating moments of insight that are 'sacramental.' |
 Animal Kingdom"Pavel Chichikov sees the natural through the mystical eyes of the supernatural....This is to see things as they are meant to be seen. It is to see God's presence in the weaving of a spider's web or in the flight of a bird. It is to see as Gerard Manley Hopkins saw. It is to paint inscapes. It is to see truly." |
 Church of the Kevin, TheA short book combining comic material from the author's newsletter for his nationally performed comedy murder mysteries with somewhat more serious essays and some satirical poems. "THE BOOK OF THE KEVIN (or whatever it's called) is a literary revolution. Everyone should read this book. I intend to read it myself. That's how strongly I feel about it." ----Dale Ahlquist, president and co-founder of the American Chesterton Society and the author of many books on GKC. |
 Divining DivinityThe poems in this volume are not only as sensitive and fine as anything by Emily Dickenson, they also have the brilliant structure and playful wordsmanship of Gerard Manley Hopkins, with an endearing quiet sense of the sublime—and all of them offered up in a humble attitude of praise. |
 GodA series of Biblical meditations with special emphasis on the hidden core of the Bible, the Name of God. The author claims no special Scriptural expertise, but he approaches the Bible as a human being, as a priest, and as a specialist in the drama of William Shakespeare and the poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins. |
 Mysteries and Stations in the Manner of IgnatiusAs meditations, whose manner resembles the Ignatian technique called composition of place, these poems mine the Mysteries of the Rosary and the Stations of the Cross in order to bring forth a luminous iconography of redemption. An eye for vivid imagery and an ear for the telling phrase meet here in verse that is as much to be prayed as read. |
 Poem of the New Creation, A"In its lyrical intensity, its mastery of literary techniques and artistic structure, so rich in many perceptive allusions to biblical, theological, historical and literary sources, this poem is indeed a "new creation:" at once traditional and original, a fresh revelation of how the dark confusions in mankind's temporal condition can be transfused through the voice of Christian grace and prophecy from its sorrowful tragedy into the joyous comedy of redemption." (Peter J. Stanlis) |
 Stage RightBroadway star and lifelong Christian Joan Roberts testifies to her personal and professional history of "struggle for integrity in the arts and entertainment business," speaking from the perspective of faith and writing intentionally for the sake of young artists who will inevitably face similar challenges now and in the future.

 The Enclosed GardenIn the form of poetic meditations on the Old Testament, Peter Milward's literary masterpiece combines the ideal of Paradise in Solomon's The Song of Songs with the magnificent poetic magic of the pleasure-dome in Kubla Khan. As the Biblical setting for the contemplative life, so essential for both religious Jews and Christians, THE ENCLOSED GARDEN provides everything that is seriously lacking in the active secular and materialist life of modern Jewish and Christian society. |
 The Letters of Magdalen MontagueThis novella boldly addresses themes of grace, faith, evil, sacrifice, spiritual exile, martyrdom of the everyday, and the redemptive power of narrative, all mediated through the deftly-wielded pen of the protagonist. Drawing largely on the traditions of Decadent literature, The Letters of Magdalen Montague presents a profound portrait of humanity's quest for God. |
 Wind Among the Leaves"A mind alive with the truth of Christian realism, a heart that beats in unity with the Faith, an eye that rejoices in the beauties of Creation, and an ear that notes the music of the Muse"... this beautifully bound little volume of poetry (by a man noted author Joseph Pearce describes as "one of the finest" of this century's Catholic poets) makes a very lovely gift.

 With Roses for AllPoetry is absorbing. Poetry is engaging. Poetry reaches into the very faculty of play. Poetry calls out to human freedom by speaking to heart and mind in a single moment, unraveling human nature before one has the time to stop its invasion. What good can possibly come from that? Read this and see.
