"In wonder at the strangeness of the good."

Thanks to the generosity of the Benedict XVI Institute, my new book of poems, The Strangeness of the Good, was launched from its berth last night. I was delighted to read some poems and field questions along the way from those in attendance. Nothing replaces the pleasure of a proper reading and book signing, but it is gratifying to be able to spend even this sort of time with readers and with those concerned about the arts of beautiful and the sacred. If you missed the event, you can watch it all right here, and if you still have not picked up a copy of the book for yourself, I encourage you to click the book cover (at left) and do so.
