The Christmas Poems

The joy of Christmas, more and more understood within the traditions of the feast of the incarnation, brought a brooding meditation over several years, leading to a series of poems of varying lengths in celebration of the experience and the thought of Christmas. Most of these poems came during the period 1987–2004 with a recent addition lured from my pencil by the work on this book. This last appearing poem is perhaps an epilogue on the devotion of Christmas.
