Leonard Feeney

4.9/5 (10820 ratings)

Description:This book is a collection of some of Father Feeney's poetry Survival Till Seventeen, Fish on Friday, In Towns and Little Towns, and You’d Better Come Quietly, Poems, Verse as well as some of his other works. You will rarely encounter another modern Catholic poet and writer with such depth of faith and dramatic power with words as Father Leonard Feeney. Frank Sheed, of Sheed & Ward, his original publisher and a well-known Catholic writer himself, once labeled him “America’s Chesterton”. Coming from a Catholic Englishman, that is a grand compliment indeed for an American Irishman! PREFACE This book contains the things I like best of all I have written up til 1943. It does not contain the things I hope to write from now on. And so, though it is called an “omnibus,” it is not to be taken as an “obituary.” My publishers have been very kind in letting me make my own choices. A number of things have been omitted, over protest of my friends. But a poet—if such I be—must ultimately be his own critic, his own chooser. It is one of the few freedoms left a man in this merciless age. I am not, as one critic has kindly suggested, “a poet of many personalities.” I am a poet of one personality who has had many moods. I realize I could have made a much greater reputation for myself if I had written everything in one groove. But in this matter I took a cue from God the Father—who is the poet, the maker, in God—and who could have made a much greater reputation for Himself if He had made the lion and omitted the mosquito. Other than this, I offer no apologies. L. F. August 6th, 1943.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
