Saint Thérèse Of Lisieux: A Study In Verse

By W Bruce Ingram

This book traces the evolution of Saint Th r se's spirituality through the two volumes of her published General Correspondence. Each chapter is devoted to a particular correspondent and explores the nature and scope of the rapport Th r se established with this individual.

To achieve his objective, W. Bruce Ingram employs the avant‐garde medium of "Found Poetry" (see the Introduction for an explanation of this literary sub‐genre), which has never before been applied to the vast output of Theresian scholarship. It is his hope that this collection of fifty‐one found poems-abridged facets of affectionate exchanges that encapsulate the essence of the correspondence-will act as a gateway, a catalyst, prompting a more in‐depth study of and prayerful reflection on the doctrine of Saint Th r se's "Little Way of Spiritual Childhood."

Saint Th r se of Lisieux: A Study In Verse offers anyone interested in spiritual enrichment or in the study of saints, as well as devotees of Saint Th r se, a thoughtful and inspiring read.
