About this book
For more than four decades, Murray Bodo has written poems that find God in ordinary places: a winter bird at the window, a city street at Christmas, a hill town in Umbria at dusk. Mystic Morning gathers that whole body of work for the first time, twelve books written across 46 years, from his first collection in 1980 to a new book of poems completed in 2026, the 800th anniversary of the death of St. Francis.
Volume III gathers Of Francis and Clare (2013), Autumn Train (2015), A Far Country Near (2018), Teaching the Soul to Speak (2020) and Canticle (2022): the poems of Francis and Clare and the late work of a poet looking back with gratitude.
The voice is plain, attentive and full of wonder: the work of a poet who has spent a lifetime teaching the soul to speak. Mystic Morning is published in three volumes; buy all three for the complete collection.
