Sparrow Seed: The Franciscan Poems

A series of dramatic monologues through the eyes and voices of Francis of Assisi and his early followers evoking the lively Franciscan experience--its humor, spiritual depth, and daily challenges. Poems include: "What Kissing Lepers is All About," "Dancing Before Cardinals," and "That Winter of His Faithfulness." A short introduction of Francis' life prefaces this edition. Wallace's poetry brings the experience alive for 21st century readers.
