On Mary, The Moms Of Jesus
I read this collection of poems for my masters:
Mary Speaks of Her Son, by Carl Winderl.
Prof Winderl is one of my old teachers from Eastern Nazarene College, though he has moved on to greener teaching pastures since then. I bought this book and read it, and have been trying to find my footing ever since.
The book is just what the title says: Mary speaking about her Son (Jesus) and the events which surround their life. More than this, Winderl added anachronisitc, modern tales wherein Mary comments on the world around us today:What is it like for the Mother of God to
- Walk around and see people wearing her Son around their necks?
- Have whole denominations and colleges dedicated to your child?
- Contemplate suicide every Christmas because you know it brings Easter?
This is an excellent collection of poems which force you to reconsider the character of Mary.
Buy a copy, or borrow mine.
For a more thorough analysis of the book, here is the paper I wrote on it.
