First Make Mad is a day's journey into the soul of Roman Moran. A father and a fisherman, a writer and a grocery store clerk, a sinner and a mystic, Roman makes his way through a single Ash Wednesday in the curious town of Hot Springs, Arkansas. There the ghosts of gangsters and Native Americans whisper on the mist-wreathed mountainsides, and the dead of Roman's own family form a chorus such as Odysseus might have heard as he coursed over the Mediterranean Sea. The odyssey of the Moran fam...

In these poems, Fitzpatrick weaves story and song, narrative and image, free verse and traditional forms to spin a yarn of life and art. These are poems of place, first and last of the rich riverbend tableau of New Orleans, but also of Greece and Spain, of Tampa and Paris and Oxford.

This book offers an intelligent but accessible recovery of the Christian hope for heaven and the resurrected life. Our ideas of heaven often need rescuing from the well-meaning but often empty sense of a "better-place." It is more fruitful, the author argues, to orientate ourselves by St. Paul's words: "For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to a home yet to come." Each of us desires Eden while struggling to make good out of evil. The things we cherish have their ...
