Books with author Michael O'Neill McGrath

This new book for children is about holy mysteries and stories from the lives of Jesus and Mary that help us to pray. Brother Mickey's artwork brings to life the Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful, and Glorious Mysteries of the rosary through his signature use of vibrant, multicultural colors, symbols, and imagery. Scripture references are provided with each piece of art and an appendix of discussion questions is included for faith-sharing across generations. A true treasure for moms and dads, grandparents and godparents, teachers, catechists, and children of all ages!

This book explores the "self-conscious poem" - that is, a poem concerned with poetry that displays awareness of itself as poetry - in the work of the major Romantic poets, Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, and Keats. Michael O'Neill's readings freshly illuminate the imaginative distinction of many famous and often-studied poems, and revalue less regarded works. An extended coda looks at some post-Romantic poets, particularly Yeats, Stevens, Auden, and Clampitt, in the light of the book's central theme.
