A Landmark Anthology of Contemporary Catholic Poetry
A treasury of vibrant beauty and thought-provoking verse, this anthology is an essential addition to the library of any poetry lover or anyone seeking to explore the intersection of faith and art.

This path-breaking collection brings together the work of 23 notable Catholic poets born after 1950, including Julia Alvarez, Carolyn Forché, Timothy Murphy, and Franz Wright. Edited by Ryan Wilson and April Lindner, this anthology celebrates the depth and diversity of the Catholic imagination, highlighting the myriad ways the Church has left its mark on the imaginations of these notable contemporary poets.

From personal reflections to explorations of faith, nature, life, and lament, these poems span a wide range of themes, styles, and forms, offering readers a rich tapestry of spiritual and creative expression. Whether capturing moments of beauty, wrestling with doubt, or addressing the complexities of modern life, this collection reveals the enduring influence of the Church on the poetic tradition.

Above all, poems remember. Each poem is, on a fundamental level, an act of remembrance, a kind of handprint pressed against the wall of Time.--from the Preface of Contemporary Catholic Poetry
