Holy Madness by Barbara Flaherty
Barbara Flaherty’s haunting memoir of her initiation into the fourth order. - $15.95
"Holy Madness is poetry that is both personal and moves beyond the personal. Juxtaposing the stories of her own mad brother with that of the divinely mad Saint Francis of Assisi, Flaherty challenges us to consider the awful gifts that the wounded among us give. The poems are both lyrical and, as a group, narrative, and that narrative thread draws us along through thE book's many voices and visions. A profoundly moving book that asks us, as Rilke said all great art must, to change our lives.” MP Monaghan
Soldier’s Heart: The Book of Sweeney
by Patricia Monaghan
Patricia Monaghan’s adaptation of the powerful Celtic tale of mad Sweeney and the devastating effects of war. - $10
“Patricia Monaghan’s ‘Soldier’s Heart’ is unique in creating an imaginary world for her war story, a saga of the Lear-like madness of a warrior king. Or is it that the warlike world of men is mad, and Sweeney alone is sane, hiding like a crow in a tree lest he be tempted back to fight? A gripping story, full of blood and magic.”—Jendi Reiter, Winning Writers
