Sometimes we find that the best loved Gospel stories become so familiar that we can no longer respond to them, writes Rosenthal. Poetry's special art is to cast a fresh eye on the too familiar. Poetry's fresh eye may startle us with its different view.Praying the Gospels through Poetry: Lent to Easter casts the fresh eye of poetry on the Gospel readings for Lent and Holy Week as a new way to enter the Gospel stories and pray with them more fully. Useful for individuals or small groups, each chapter includes reflection on a poem pertaining to the Gospel by a contemporary (with one exception) poet, including David Craig, George Herbert, Andrew Hudgins, Mark Jarman, Paul Mariani, Vassar Miller, Eric Pankey, Ku Sang, Liliana Ursu and Karol Wojtyla (Pope John Paul II).
