Religious Poetry

Aquinas at Prayer draws attention to important aspects of Aquinas's life and work which have been all too often overlooked or forgotten. Today Aquinas is almost exclusively regarded as an outstanding scholastic philosopher and theologian. But what is little known is that Aquinas was, first and last, a teacher of the Bible - a Master of the Sacred Page. Moreover there is a distinctly mystical character to his theology. And, as a writer, he was not only a poet but, arguably, the greatest Latin poet of the Middle Ages.

Consider this glowing debut from Paige Lewis a menagerie of near-extinction. Space Struck explores the wonders and cruelties occurring within the realms of nature, science, and religion, with the acuity of a sage, the deftness of a hunter, and a hilarious sensibility for the absurd. The universe is seen as an endless arrow “...and it asks only one question: How dare you?” The poems are physically and psychologically tied to the animal world.

Si alguna vez sentiste que no podías más, si te rompieron el corazón, si confiaste a ciegas y te apuñalaron por la espalda, si creíste que después del dolor no había nada más, este libro es para ti. En Valentía II encontramos el reflejo de alguien que supo abrazar el dolor y convertirlo en vuelo, como un colibrí renaciendo después de una noche fría de invierno. Kelbin Torres, una vez más, abre las puertas de su alma para mostrarnos que cada caída no es más que un impulso para ser valientes y continuar.

This is not a book about losing faith. It’s about walking away from the version of it that asked you to disappear. In Not Your Good Girl Anymore, Faith Hubble writes with razor-edged tenderness about what it means to grow up obedient, to unlearn silence, and to come home to a self you were never taught to love. Told in three parts—what they taught me, the leaving, and free looks like this—this collection traces the quiet violence of religious shame and the fierce, beautiful work of reclaiming your body, voice, and worth. These poems are for the ones who stopped being good to start ...

With the same vulnerability and timelessness as her debut collection Old Monarch, Love Is a Dog That Bites When It’s Scared acknowledges the layers to our feelings, experiences, and humanity.

It has been twenty-eight years since Sandra Cisneros published a book of poetry. With dozens of never-before-seen poems, Woman Without Shame is a moving collection of songs, elegies, and declarations that chronicle her pilgrimage toward rebirth and the recognition of her prerogative as a woman artist. These bluntly honest and often humorous meditations on memory, desire, and the essential nature of love blaze a path toward self-awareness. For Cisneros, Woman Without Shame is the culmination of her search for home—in the Mexico of her ancestors and in her own heart.

They told us salvation came in one image—pristine, pale, and divine. But what if that image was a lie? Whitewashed Black Jesus is a bold and lyrical exploration of race, religion, and identity, peeling back centuries of manipulation to expose the subconscious programming that shapes our beliefs. This book centers on the idea that Jesus is the reflection of all humanity, not bound by one race, culture, or image. The core message: when we look into the mirror of faith, we should see Christ within ourselves—not as a figure imposed by history, but as a living truth that transcends color, ...

I think Christian poetry is similar to prayer in that it focuses on the Love of Him who is Faithful and True. If we can write so many poems about love, why not write poetry for the One who is Love Himself? Why not seek love from whom it can be found? This book is titled "Poems For a Faithful Heart" because it is a collection of inspirational poems for God, the One with a Faithful Heart. He is the Lover who seeks us and will never disappoint us. If you are looking for religious poems, poems for God or poems of faith, this book is for you. May it lead you to the One who loves you most!
