Apocalypse Dance

Arts & Literature

“Ethan McGuire takes us from the neon lights and pulsing music of clubs to the silence of starry skies. He takes us from his ancestral Ozarks to Bashō’s Japan (bringing both together in his remarkable long poem “The Bluegrass Players”). This is an impressive full-collection debut from a versatile poet and translator with a musician’s ear.”

As It Is in Heaven

Theology

“This remarkable book offers consolation without saccharine shortcuts. It explores how our failures in love anticipate hell and how the richest experiences of earthly life . . . anticipate the life of the world to come. Rigorous and poetic, speculative and practical, this is a book not only for philosophers and theologians but also for clergy, spiritual directors, and counselors. Indeed, it is a book for all those . . . living in the shadow of death.”

The Vagabond Scholar

“William Franke wrote these lyrics on the cusp of his doctoral studies, as he finished a master’s degree at Oxford and then traveled through continental Europe. Collected here for the first time, these poems reveal how the ‘inward hours’ of study and the vivid experiences of life abroad shaped one of the great humanists of our day.”
