Kinship of Poetry and Religion

Poetry strings words in ways that pack more meaning. In turns poetry touches deeper parts of humans. Mid-20^th-Century poets included sisters and nuns. Nick Ripatrazone has written about some of them in America Magazine. He used their verses to illustrate. The contribution of Mr. Ripatrazone reminds that God may be found in every created thing.

All these sisters—Mary Madeleva, Mary Bernetta Quinn, Jessica Powers, Mary Gilbert, Maura Eichner and Mary Agnes—reveal a notable midcentury Catholic literary renaissance: women religious poets publishing widely.https://t.co/yXM2iyEoXw
