About This Item
Mahwah, New Jersey, U.S.A.: Paulist Pr, 1991. 76pp/illus. Inscribed by author/artist on title page. With this volume of paintings and reflections, Meinrad Craighead strengthens her reputation as an artist and seer unique among her contemporaries. 30 new paintings in book - very interesting paintings. Her book uses the abiding images of river and litany - that ancient, repetitive prayer-to weave word and image together. Celebrates the riddles of life as they are sung by the creatures of the earth and the spirits of the waters, the trees and the rocks - songs of creation, the wellspring of our being, of the mysteries of divinity and sexuality, of the turning of the seasons and of birth and death - songs of thanksgfiving for the sacred gift of life. Clean. Inscribed by the Author. First Edition. Cloth. Fine/Fine. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
