A Poetic Lent
March 5, 2014
In the spirit of the season, First Things has analyses of two poets whose work gave particular attention to the Easter season. Both were poets of great faith–and of great hope. Catherine Addington takes a look at the Lenten poetry of Christina Rossetti, the great Victorian, here. And, in the spirit of shameless self-promotion, the second piece is my own, on T.S. Eliot’s “Ash Wednesday.” You can read that here.
Lent is a time to return to the Word of God, of course–but also an opportunity to turn to the saints and artists whose words, too, can guide our way.
