The River of the Immaculate Conception, in Serial Publication

The Benedict XVI Institute commissioned my long poem, The River of the Immaculate Conception, and arranged for its publication with Wiseblood Books in a limited edition. The Institute is now in the process of giving serial publication to the poem. It will not include the historical notes to the poem, but each installment does include a picture taken from the Mass of the Americas, which was the occasion and inspiration of the poem. As each poem in the sequence is published, I will add a picture below. I invite you to click the picture and follow along on this celebration of Catholicism in the Americas.

If you would like to own a copy of The River of the Immaculate Conception, just click the book cover below, and it will take you to the Wiseblood Books order page.
