Description

Letters, the Rule, the Canticle of the Sun. Francis of Assisi in his own short store — poverty as joy, creatures as kin, the Gospel walked. A pocket of medieval fire, still warm. Brother Sun, Sister Moon, a rule that strips the order to the skin. These pages are small and they carry a whole poverty. Listen as if the Canticle were still being tried on. Wind and fire addressed as kin; a Rule that strips the order to the skin; letters that still sound spoken on the road.

Author

Francis of Assisi (c. 1181–1226) turned wealth into a legend of poverty and praise. Son of a merchant, he left comfort for an itinerant life of preaching, founded the Franciscan order, and wrote of sun, wind, and creatures as kin. The Canticle of the Creatures and the prayers in our catalogue keep that weather: holiness that looks at birds and beggars with the same courtesy.
