A Commentary on the Sonnets of G.M. HopkinsA complete and concise annotation of the sonnets that Hopkins wrote from 1877 until his death in 1889. Biographical Introduction by Joseph Feeney, SJ.
A Lifetime with HopkinsIn this series of brief, readable and insightful essays, a noted scholar and fellow Jesuit delves into the poetry of Hopkins and his central ideas on God the Trinity, the self, nature and people, finding the key to the poems in the Paschal Mystery of Christ.
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."
Astonishments: Selected Poems of Anna KamienskaKamienska came of age during the horrors of the Nazi occupation of Poland and lived under Communism. These experiences, as well as the sudden death of her husband, led her to engagement with the Bible and the great religious thinkers of the 20th century. Her poems record the struggles of a rational mind with religious faith, addressing loneliness and uncertainty in a remarkably direct, unsentimental manner.
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. 
DT Advent 2007 IssueDappled Things is dedicated to providing a space for emerging poets, writers, and visual artists to engage the world from a Catholic perspective.   Featured among many others in this issue: James V. Schall – The Truth of His Humanity.
Everyday Graces: A Child's Book of Good MannersSantorum's bestseller speaks to the fact that manners are seldom discussed anymore—and are practiced even less! Yet good manners are prerequisite to the growth of moral character.  Great anthology full of famous authors.  Hardcover.
Everyday Graces: A Child's Book of Good MannersFIRST EDITION, signed by author Karen Santorum.   Everyday Graces grew out of Karen Santorum’s search for a book of manners that instructs through engaging stories and poems, rather than dull lists of dos and don’ts. Among her selections are the works of well-known and also contemporary authors, including Lucy Maud Montgomery, Beatrix Potter, C.S. Lewis, Hans Christian Anderson, Mark Twain, Frances Hodgson Burnet
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.
Oblation: Meditations on the Rule of St. BenedictThousands of spiritual seekers are discovering and re-discovering the wisdom of Saint Benedict, embracing the balanced, Christ-centered, and practical approach to daily living that he espoused for his monks almost 1500 years ago in Europe. By some estimates, Benedictine oblates outnumber vowed monks and nuns by ten-to-one.  Personal, accessible, and deeply relevant, the prayers offered here invite readers to make their own thoughtful reflections on the timeless principles found in Benedict's Rule and how they may be applied in concrete ways in everyday life.

A perfect Christmas gift, it will help a new generation rediscover the immense gifts of one of America's best children's storytellers.
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)
Prayers of a Young Poet
Entranced by Orthodox churches and monasteries, and above all by their icons that seemed like flames glowing in dark spaces, Rilke intended these prayer-poems also to be icons of sorts, meditations that could illumine the Way for seekers within darkness.
