St. Peter’s B-list: Contemporary Poems Inspired by the Saints

Edited by Mary Ann B. Miller

Ave Maria Press, 288 pages, paperback
Released on March 24, 2014

St. Peter's B-ListThis soul-stirring collection of more than one hundred poems–composed by a wide variety of contemporary award-winning poets–awakens readers to the beauty and humor in the broken, imperfect striving of the saints for holiness.

Featuring poems by Dana Gioia, Mary Karr, Paul Mariani, and Kate Daniels, as well as many new and emerging poets, this anthology invites readers to view the saints as they’ve never imagined them, reaching for the sacred, doubting, bumbling, and then trying again. The collection features wide-ranging poems on ordinary topics, such as a mother trying to get her newborn to fall asleep, an older brother concerned about the marriage of his sister, a lonely man trying to meet a woman in a bar, and a burn victim’s compassion for a small child. Neither devotional nor pious, these poems capture how, in unexpected ways, the saints illuminate daily life for everyday saints-in-the-making and engage readers in the important struggle to see the action of God in their lives.
