Poetry. "This remarkable, absorbing, and quietly revolutionary book constitutes the greatest poetic work and ultimate legacy of the legendary Patricia Monaghan, whose towering work as a scholar, writer, and organizer, breathtaking in its scope and ambition, brought the Goddess into women's lives over many decades. A farewell gift to the world from the deep soul of this brilliantly talented poet, begun in the 1980s and completed on her deathbed in 2012, Monaghan's magnum opus offers readers the sweet and sublime fruit of an attentive and courageous spiritual life. Deceptively simple and accessible in style, MARY: A LIFE IN VERSE is nothing less than a profound and heart wrenching feminist epic. It brings us a new Mary, a Mary for the world and for the ages, who stretches beyond the limits of the Christian story and partakes of something far more ancient, larger, and more glorious: Mary as a woman, and a goddess."--Annie Finch
Patricia Monaghan passed away on November 11, 2012. She was a Pushcart Prize awarded poet, scholar, spiritual leader, and activist. A professor of inter-disciplinary studies at DePaul University, Patricia had over twenty books published. She was concerned about the lack of spirituality in our society and addressed that in co- founding the Black Earth Institute composed of artists and scholars to direct art in the causes of spirituality, the environment and social justice (www.blackearthinstitute.org). Again to address this issue, this time in relation to academia, she co-founded the Association for the Study of Woman and Mythology to recognize and promote well researched work in the field and to mentor young scholars. Patricia finished MARY: A LIFE IN VERSE (Dos Madres Press, 2014) shortly before she died.
