Volume Of Poems Wins High Praise Sister Miriam Author 01 "Woven In The Sky’ First copies of “Woven in the Sky”, a volume of poems by Sister Miriam, R. S. M., chairman of the English Department at College Mis- ercordia, reached here this week, | accompanied by glowing words of praise from critics. The book, bound in silver and] blue, contains 87 pages, 53 poems, and was published by the Macmillan Co. of New York and London. In his preface, Odell Shepard of Trinity College, Hartford, Conn., writes: “A woman of our own time speaks and sings in these verses. often moving out into mysteries of our common human nature to which no creed or vocation gives the clue. Here is a mdern mind that has been disciplined by tradition. Here is a fine and vigorous intelligence wed- ded to warmth of heart. And in these poems, finally, there is a pas- sionate acceptance, nobly uttered, of the loftiest adventure upon which the human spirit can set forth.” The comment on the jacket con- tinues: ‘These are poems that come out of a rare mood of deep mystic- ism. The vision of Sister Miriam is the vision of an alert and unspoiled innocence; the air is washed and . clean. And this point of view in a troubled world is a quickening draft to readers of contemporary werse. Sister Miriam writes with all the charm of a feminine observer, who sees a created world for the first time.” : John Hall Wheelock refers to their straightforward beauty as the revelation of the heart of a true poet, and was particularly impressed by the unity of the book—the fact that it is all one poem, of which the ~various poems are parts, leading to the climax of-the final pages. Sister Miriam has lectured: on poetry in Nebraska, Iowa, Pennsyl- vania and New Jersey and has con- tributed prose and poetry to num- erous magazines. She has also edited two books of analecta from the non-fictional writings of Canon P. A. Sheehan, which elicited from the Irish priest-author high praise. On receipt of the volume bound in pur- ple leather, the novelist wrote: “You have clothed me in purple and fine linen, and I am abashed at my own | splendor. It is you brave Americans who have popularized all my works and saved them from extinction.” Sister Miriam was educated at Creighton University, Omaha, Neb., the University of Notre Dame and the Catholic University in Washing- ton. She has had courses in prose and poetry from the University of Iowa and Chicago University. She is a member of the Writers’ Guild, the National Council of English Teachers, the Catholic Poetry Soc- iety of America and the Poetry Soc- iety of London, England. ~~ BLDERSON The monthly meeting of the Wo- men’s Auxiliary and Missionary So- ciety of the Lutheran Church of Laketon met at the home of Mrs. Elmer Kerr on March 7.— Attending were Rev. an «= John Albright apn, J , Jr., Mrs. A.
