Description

Magdalene Poems is a powerful and evocative collection that reimagines the biblical figure of Mary Magdalene as a woman alive in contemporary life. With beauty, ferocity, and vulnerability, Marie Howe explores the complexities of spirituality, trauma, and human connection.

The poems are a deeply personal and searching exploration of what it means to be fully human, to navigate the sacred and the mundane, and to find meaning in the midst of pain and loss. Through her writing, Howe conjures a sense of urgency and longing, as the narrator yearns for guidance and solace in a world that often feels overwhelming.

This is a book about the search for meaning, the power of human connection, and the resilience of the spirit. With its lyricism, intensity, and emotional depth, Magdalene Poems is a worthwhile read for anyone who has ever struggled to find their place in the world.
