About this book

“And time for a hundred indecisions / And a hundred visions and revisions.” — T. S. Eliot

Taking his title from Eliot’s Prufrock, Murray Bodo writes his poetic RSVP to the invitation all Franciscans shared in 2009 to celebrate the eight-hundredth anniversary of the Order’s beginnings.

Part I offers word-frescoes of scenes from the lives of Francis and Clare; the three sections that follow move from medieval memorials to modern incarnations of the Franciscan life. “Language that is stripped and utterly focused, like the lives of its subjects.” — Margaret Carney, OSF
