Homage to Henry Alline and Other Poems

Beschreibung

Henry Alline was a self-educated 18th-century evangelist who spent most of his life as a saddle-bag preacher in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. A tireless traveller and speaker, he nonetheless managed to write a number of significant theological works which have provided the inspiration for the title poem in this collection.
