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.

Oliver Directing
Economy League
Taxpayers’ Association
Opens Branch In Valley
Philadelphia, March 14—(Szzcial)
— Activities of an
Economy. Lzagii@ in the northeastern
section of the State will be directed
from Wilkes-Barre, where a new
regional office was opened at 1226
Miners Bank Building this week.
Officers of the League have se-
lected Mr. Walter Oliver, formerly
Deputy Receiver of Closed Banks in
Luzerne County, as Regional Direc-
tor of the League’s activities in the
19-county area, which includes
Bradford, Carbon, Centre, Clinton,
Columbia, Lackawanna, Luzerne,
Lycoming, Monroe, Montour, North-
umberland, Pike, Schuylkill, Sulli-
van, Susquehanna, Tioga, Union,
Wayne and Wyoming.
The League, which is recognized
as one of the foremost taxpayers’
associations in the United States, is
a state-wide, non-partisan organiza-
tion, supported by voluntary con-
tributions.
A capable and expert staff is
maintained to assist County Com-
mittees in preparing data for rec-
ommendations on county, township,
borough and school district prob-
lems. During 1939, the League, after
completing hundreds of studies,
made recommendations calling for
the saving of millions of dollars in
taxes. Mr. Oliver, who is thorough-
ly versed in the League’s work for
“Better Government at Less Cost”,
will make his headquarters at the
William Hoover.
Wilkes-Barre office.
