I’ve long admired the work of Melissa Weinman, a Washington-based painter who works with images of faith. The image above is part of a series she calls “rosefire,” inspired in part by the last lines of Eliot’s Four Quartets. Image Journal is posting my article that describes her faith journey and how it has influenced her painting. More at http://www.patheos.com/blogs/goodletters/

I've written a memoir about conversion, Catholic by Choice: Why I Embraced the Faith, Joined the Church and Embarked on the Adventure of a Lifetime, Loyola Press, now available from Amazon and bookstores. I’ve also published two books of poetry, The Glass Children and Success Stories.
My poems and essays have appeared in The New Yorker, Poetry, Hudson Review, Image Journal – Good Letters and elsewhere. I’ve also written a boatload of business materials. Subscribe to blog posts
