Calling the Garden from the Grave by Lesley Clinton

$14.99

 

“Lesley Clinton‘s Calling the Garden from the Grave is a book of paradoxes, and of wishes.  Opposites attract, Clinton might say:  with magic, the “churning salt-breeze / of elsewhere.”   I was delighted to see so much range and surprise.    This is a chapbook to be read and savored.”
–Kim Bridgford, Editor-in-chief, Mezzo Cammin

This slender volume utilizes language to uniquely stamp this writer’s vocation, her multi-faceted “calling.”  Reading these poems becomes a joyful reminder of St. John Paul II’s Letter to Artists (1999) as he acknowledged the sacred tasks of artists “as [they] are led all the more to see themselves and the whole of creation with eyes able to contemplate and give thanks, and to raise to God a hymn of praise.” With poet Lesley Clinton, let us “Lie in wait for the spark to land, / and tense for the bright reply.”

–Sarah Cortez, President & Founder, Catholic Literary Arts
