“this need to dance / this need to kneel”

Arts & Literature

“Like the 2015 Loyola University conference that spawned them, these essays offer a feast for reflection on the poetry of Denise Levertov. The complexity, richness, and radiance of her work comes alive on the page as numerous commentators—poets, literary critics, theologians, philosophers, novelists and philologists—explore her contribution as poet, prophet and priest. The volume is unique in that it puts front and center Levertov’s poetic life as an act of faith.”

A Green Bough

Arts & Literature

“A Green Bough is a clutch of poems offered as nurture for our appreciation of nature. Here wonder and imagination, praise and celebration meet. This is the poetry of witness and joy offered by a poet who has understood the interconnections of the natural world. Rivers and trees, flowers and lizards, bluebirds and mountains all appear, giving delight and renewing the reader’s understanding and gratitude.”
