This anthology, born in response to the 2016 Presidential election, combines the voices of poets from across America—from red states and blue states, high schools and nursing homes, big cities and small towns—with the voices of poets from other countries and other times. From Virgil and Dante to Claudia Rankine and Mai Der Vang, from Milton to Merwin, from Po-Chü-i to Robin Coste Lewis, these voices—now raucous, now muted, now lyric, now plain—join together here in dissent and in praise, in grief and alarm, in vision and hope. The 126 poems in this book call out to America in resistance to threats to our democracy and in the resilient belief that this fragile, imperfect form of government can and must be preserved. “These poets have an urgent message to share with you,” writes Camille T. Dungy in the foreword. “This message is brand new, and it is also eternal. Read carefully. What you learn here might just save your life.” Click to order via Amazon https://jengracestewart.com/media/2018/6/3/salvation-in-the-x-files-an-article-for-christ-and-pop-culture monthly 0.5 2018-06-04 https://jengracestewart.com/media/2018/5/2/a-poem-of-mine-in-mama-issue-30 monthly 0.5 2018-05-03 https://jengracestewart.com/media/2018/4/17/moms-marchers-and-managers-one-poems-journey monthly 0.5 2018-04-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a46e6c9b7411c6102f67c87/1523996977334-CMHC8NYAJ9F3DCC1321W/12813DAB-CA30-4B1A-9A82-72FAD6E866C0.jpeg Media - Moms, Marchers and Managers: One Poem's Journey https://jengracestewart.com/media/2018/2/28/what-bears-the-light-pilgrimage-press monthly 0.5 2018-02-28 https://jengracestewart.com/media/2018/1/22/and-now-for-something-entirely-different monthly 0.5 2018-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a46e6c9b7411c6102f67c87/1516656392075-6AW0UFD9DT7ZPM79070L/tumblr_ox23rzHvX11smehy0o2_540.png Media - And now for something entirely different... I recently had the opportunity to share my thoughts about two of the TV shows that most captured my imagination this past year. After the season opener of The X Files (of which I am a devoted longtime fan), I pitched an article to The Mary Sue, looking at the way The X Files deploys a common sci fi / dystopian trope in comparison to the way The Handmaid's Tale (a show I was riveted by last spring) does.

Mary’s response to the angel, saying “Let it be to me as you have said,” is an essential moment in the life of a disciple, a woman, and an artist. In Madonna, Complex, Mary’s “yes” is a moment of opening, of allowing her very body to become a co-creator with God and a conduit for the coming of grace into the world. However, womanhood in all its fullness—sexuality, marriage, infertility, childbirth, nursing—inevitably complicates traditional Christian imagery of Mary. Madonna, Complex chronicles a feminine faith journey alongside saints like Joan of Arc and Saint Kateri, images of motherhood in visual art, through holy days of the Christian calendar—Ash Wednesday, Holy Saturday, All Saints Day—and sites of pilgrimage, cathedrals, wilderness, and other places holiness can be found. These poems explore the complexities of the messages we receive about what it means to say yes to God, or to something larger than ourselves that demands our attention and energy, whether it’s bearing a child or participating in a political protest. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a46e6c9b7411c6102f67c87/1587230786219-JEDNC7602MKQ6J2JM32Q/Madonna%252BComplex%252BCover-version%252B2.jpg Madonna, Complex https://jengracestewart.com/editing-consulting daily 0.75 2025-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a46e6c9b7411c6102f67c87/1659763963883-9H49D24SAT8ZR5EQVICY/Madonna%2BComplex%2BCover-version%2B3.jpg Editing & Consulting https://jengracestewart.com/home-alt-bedford daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390500612440-PGQSIY8KL9F7T5VIXQLO/chambers-2.jpg Home Alt A better world Starts with a choice Contact Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390500503574-5BAPXZO9U06UV61P49UO/chambers1.jpg Home Alt Sustainability Starts with you Join Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390500933384-LII4SRIPHFYOUFX0UCXC/chambers-4.jpg Home Alt A better world Starts with a choice Join Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390504287124-HQ8GNX1JCE22V047MSQ9/chambers-8.jpg Home Alt Preserve Nature Join Us
