Annunciation is a beautiful anthology of poems by sixteen poets, with original relief print illustrations. Because of the interfaith, and intercultural nature of the poets (Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, secular) the book ends up being more human and personal than religious, with Mary as an enigmatic and universal figure who helps us find common ground.

A collection of profoundly diverse and lyrical approaches to Mary in a beautifully produced volume.
