Collected Poems - Softcover

A collection of religious poetry written with meaning and clarity

Mary Christina St John is known in Australia through her early poetry, written during the 1940s and 50s. Her work features on university courses on Australian Literature, and has recently been placed on the internet by Flinders University Library of South Australia. She was born Mary Williams in Wales, and she can claim descent through her father from a member of an ancient brotherhood of druidic bards. She later changed her name officially to Mary Christina St John. She writes prose under her married name, Christina Sewell. Legends of the Christchild, published by the Lutterworth Press, came first, followed by all those published by the Book Guild: for children, Stinkie Stevie(ISBN: 9781846240737), Scrapefoot and the Three Bears (ISBN: 9781846243844) and A Cat with a Difference (ISBN: 9781846243837); and for adults, Jesus the Man (ISBN: 9781846243127), GOD by Any Other Name in Myth (ISBN: 9781846242557) and an amusing little gift book, Portrait of a Caterpillar Cat (ISBN: 9781846243820). But poetry has always been her major preoccupation.
