Angel Chimes - Sornberger, Judith

. .

Résumé :
In Angel Chimes, writer, poet, and scholar Judith Sornberger draws on her broad academic and personal interests in women's studies, religion, Mariology, iconography, and art to consider, in poetry, the Biblical stories memorialized during the Christian liturgical cycle of Advent and Christmas. Presented in three sections-Preparations, Silent Night, and Holy Family-these poems are complemented by select art works representing the past six centuries. As the poet reaches back into the ancient stories, she illuminates our own sacred stories-personal, family, and communal. One need not be religious to enjoy this beautifully designed book that will surely add meaning and inspiration to any reader's appreciation for the popular seasons of Advent and Christmas.
