*** Lectionary Poetry –
Easter Week 5 (Year A)

Our weekly post of poetry that resonates with the lectionary readings
for the coming Sunday (Revised Common Lectionary).
This week includes poems by Denise Levertov, Gwendolyn Brooks, MORE
We hope that these poems will be fruitful not only for preachers
who will be preaching these texts on the coming Sunday,
but also for church members in the pews, as way to prime our minds
for encountering the biblical texts.
