Inhabiting Our Ordinary Spaces
with a Redeemed Imagination
The Anselm Society is proud to feature these original poems from our contributors who answered our call. Our Winter Season’s theme is God in the Flesh in light of Advent and Epiphany in the liturgical church calendar. Christ’s incarnation demands of us to pay attention to our earthly, embodied lives, no matter how limited, constricted, and small they might feel. It is into the midst of our world's limitations that the God of the universe slips after months of darkness in a womb. God is not afraid of constriction. Beginning on that one unique dark night, He instead works within time and space, and offers us an invitation to participate with him. We draw on poetry during this season because we believe that poetry help us inhabit our limitations with imagination.
