A posthumous collection of poems on the beauty of the seasons, creation, life and death, from beloved poet Catherine de Vinck.

In the words of the Foreword by Mary Evelyn Tucker, the poetry of Catherine de Vinck, "calls us to ever greater awareness of who we are and where we dwell. She offers us glimpses of truth, not answers to our questions. She lights the path, sometimes with the brilliance of a single image. More often she surrounds us with the atmosphere of dusk—the twilight arising in our consciousness where mood and memory mingle."

Reviews

Praise for Journey to the Morning Light
"The poems of Catherine de Vinck typically begin with observations about nature that will remind readers of Mary Oliver’s best work, but then go on to connect the natural realm with visions of God’s realm. Those connections infuse Journey to the Morning Light with insight and optimism in accessible language that is fresh, subtle, and enjoyable." —A.M. Juster
