And the Risen Bread : Selected and New Poems 1957-97

And the Risen Bread is a culmination of forty years of poetry by the late American Jesuit and activist Daniel Berrigan.

Beginning with poems written on bucolic themes, the book moves to those dealing with the struggle against war.

Included are poems written from courtrooms and jail cells, as well as religious poems which include the doubt and difficulty that arise from the many horrors of our world today.
