Chesterton, Padraic Colum, Oscar Wilde, Thomas Walsh, Alice Meynell, Joyce Kilmer, Michael Williams and others - over 128 poets with over 300 poems."This is not a collection of devotional poems. What I have tried to do is bring together the poems in English that I like best that were written by Catholics since the middle of the Nineteenth Century. There are in this book poems religious in theme; there are also love-songs and war-songs. But I think that it may be called a book of Catholic poems. For a Catholic is not a Catholic only when he prays; he is a Catholic in all the thoughts and actions of his life. And when a Catholic attempts to reflect in his words some of the Beauty of which as a poet he is conscious, he cannot be far from prayer and adoration."Alfred Joyce Kilmer (1886-1918), he never used the first name, was born in New Brunswick, New Jersey in 1886. He was educated at Rutgers College and Columbia University, and had a brief career as a teacher before moving into journalism. He worked on the staff of The Standard Dictionary from 1909 to 1912, and then became a special writer on the New York Times Sunday Magazine.
