More Modern Christian Poets
I've long wanted to blog some of the poetry of Luci Shaw. You can find one here. Search the index for this site to find other, she is often published in magazines such as First Things.
Sister Miriam Pollard O.C.S.O. is another fine poet. Here is a short excerpt from her poem "Elijah in December." Many of her poems follow this pattern of prosody. The book is available from Ignatius Press.
from "Elijah in December"
in Neither Be Afraid
Sr. Miriam Pollard OCSONothing now sparkles and flashes,
Notheing here thunders or rings.
There's only the silvery rustle
Of something like wings.Not in the sky's explosion,
Not where the mountains fall--
Stand and cover your face
Where a hush is all.
