"Despite the uneven quality of the long 'Letters' sequence, 'Acts' does contain moments of striking language and real insight." Will Brewbaker on a new collection by poet and priest Spencer Reece: commonwealmagazine.org/i-bel…
‘I Belonged to the Lord’

‘I Belonged to the Lord’

Spencer Reece's latest collection of poems combines moments of real theological profundity with moments of inanity.

Hope or Consolation?

Hope or Consolation?

The late poet Saskia Hamilton's book 'All Souls' is a meditation of "tentative hope," reckoning with her own imminent death.
