Reseña del libro "The Life of Christ Through Poetry and Other Poems (en Inglés)"
The first half of THE LIFE OF CHRIST THROUGH POETRY AND OTHER POEMS is intensely spiritual. The first section follows Jesus Christ from his birth to his ascension. The second section, DIALOGS WITH GODMAN are personal prayers formed into poetry. The third section, OTHER POEMS are poems of this world. They are about everyday people doing everyday things.
