The Habit of Poetry

Arts & Literature

“In this wide-ranging and erudite study of a previously neglected subject, Nick Ripatrazone has uncovered troves of valuable cultural artifacts from the American Catholic literary tradition—and also reminded us of the lyrical mastery possessed by these women religious in their written work. The Habit of Poetry is a treasure both for the everyday reader and for the scholar of American Catholic history and culture.”
