About the event
Join us in the church or on the Watch Live page on Thursday, December 14, for a reading by James Dennis, San Antonio poet and friend of St. Mark's Bookstore. James has a new volume of poetry coming soon titled Songs of Seven Days from New Beginnings Press, and it is James' third book of poetry. This collection explores the biblical story of creation in Genesis, from the separation of the light and the darkness to Sabbath rest. It is organized into seven sections, each based on a day of creation. Texas author Elizabeth Wetmore calls Songs of Seven Days: "a luminous meditation on creation, faith, beauty, architecture, science and love." James is a poet, a novelist, and a Dominican friar and his last collection won the International Book Award. He also writes and teaches on spiritual matters. He lives in San Antonio with two ill-behaved dogs, Wallace and Yeats.
