To close out Poetry Month, we thought we would try our hand at some book spine poetry. Scholarly works are not always known for their melodious titles, but when you’re a press dedicated to what is good, true, and beautiful, it turns out there are lots of options to choose from!

The faith is alive in the first generation immigrants. They believe deeply in Jesus Christ and his blessed mother Mary. They want to see the power of God manifested in their families.
