•••••

Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889) is largely recognized as one of the best poets of the English language. Hopkins, a Jesuit priest recognized for his innovative and sophisticated style, created poetry that represented the complete range of emotional and spiritual experience, leading readers through struggles and victories until arriving at a place of profound surrender in God.

Dr. Holly Ordway's detailed, line-by-line annotations provide valuable literary and cultural references, illuminate Hopkins' word choice, and help readers unpack his complex sentence structure in As Kingfishers Catch Fire: Selected and Annotated Poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins. It is ideal for both the seasoned poet and the first-time reader, introducing them to this bright mind of the Catholic tradition through masterpieces like as "The Windhover" and "God's Grandeur."

Paperback, 176 Pages.
