Description
A love story (in a cycle of 44 sonnets) based on the writing life of Gerard Manley Hopkins, 19th-century Jesuit priest and poet. Using his journals, letters, poems and other writings, the author created a story about Hopkins and his muse, Grace, who encouraged him to stop denying his creative impulses (as he wrestled with the idea that they might be opposed to God's will) and just write. Photography by Luci Shaw. Foreword by National Book Award winner Walter Wangerin. Critical praise on the back cover by Madeleine L'Engle: "I have long loved Hopkins, and Margaret has caught the spirit of the poet." The author's name is now Margaret Kellermann. Second ed. in 1994: pub. by WaterBrook Press, a div. of Random House.
