SANCTUARY

“Sanctuary” is my first published collection of poetry. It was published by Finishing Line Press in November 2008. Three writers, friends of mine, have written kindly in support of the work:

“Before her poems retreat into a “a sanctuary of silence,” Jane Beal sifts through a rich, lovely, noisy world of images and people. But hers is a pointed sifting, a yearning to see this world in relation to the next, a longing for intimacy with the Divine.” –David Wright, author of A Liturgy for Stones

“Sanctuary ushers readers into sacred spaces: a childhood sanctuary of camilla trees, a sanctuary with “colored shadows” of the saints. Beal’s piercing attention, witness, and reverence connects us with the world in all of its beauty, terror, and mystery. It ushers us into a place of worship.” –Nicole Mazzarella, award-winning author of This Heavy Silence

“Jane Beal is a remarkable poet, deftly recording humankind’s quest to commune with the Divine. The reader will find ‘Sanctuary’ in these pages.” Leah Maines, author of Beyond the River
