The 'long swim' of Denise Levertov's conversion
William Butler Yeats posed this dilemma: One must choose the perfection of life or that of the work. Denise Levertov offers a refutation of that choice. As one the most important poets in the second half of the 20th century, Levertov was deeply engaged in social justice matters. The only moniker she allowed was, "Poet in the World."

Dolores Leckey bridged the laity-hierarchy gap
The territory was uncharted and she was the lone woman to lead a secretariat. She worked at the U.S. bishops' office for 20 years, creating a unique and pioneering legacy.

Reviving the nuclear arms consciousness
ALMIGHTY: COURAGE, RESISTANCE, AND EXISTENTIAL PERIL IN THE NUCLEAR AGE By Dan Zak Published by Penguin Random House, 416 pages, $16.95 Almighty is the story of America’s love/hate relationship with nuclear weapons.
