Lent Always Takes Us

The whole of our lives are a sort of glorious Lent. And so it is in these poems. Most of this book borrows from Bly who in his poems beautifully turns the Islamic ghazal form to his own ends. These poems though try to give all the glory to Jesus Christ who is the reason why we live and breathe. So often it seems contemporary Catholic poets are afraid to give up a secular perspective. This is odd really since that point of view will not take us into heaven. In any case may our Lord forgive us all our stupidity and sins; may the Holy Spirit help us to walk and talk with Jesus who is Life itself.
