Sonnets for Christ the King – Hardback

Acclaimed by James Sale of the Royal Society of Arts as “major poetry by a major poet,” MacKenzie’s Sonnets for Christ the King is the most significant body of traditional lyric poetry of Catholic inspiration to appear in over 100 years. Top New York poetry editor Joseph Salemi has described the book as “a sequence of prayers, meditations, devout recollections of saints, scriptural and liturgical reminiscences, and even doctrinal arguments… Indeed, the last fourteen sonnets in the sequence are meditative disquisitions on the Stations of the Cross. In some respects, going through this remarkable collection is similar to reading a breviary.”
