The spiritual exploits of Saint Anthony the Great—the prototype of the Christian "Desert Father"—have been immortalized in stories and art since the fourth century. Here is the stunning account of a modern seeker''s quest to get beneath the legends that surround Anthony and to determine whether his extreme way of life has something to offer people in today''s world. James Cowan''s quest takes him to Egypt, to the monastery that still exists near the site of Anthony''s hermitage, where he meets the monk who becomes his guide and mentor on the journey.He comes to regard Anthony and the colorful men and women who shared his lifestyle in the fourth through seventh centuries with affection and awe—their departure to the desert a flight from the status quo of the newly Christian empire in order to preserve the radical path to liberation they saw in Christian teaching. Our modern efforts toward liberation may look different from theirs, he concludes, but the ultimate goal is no different, and Anthony remains a luminous model for anyone who passionately seeks to know God.

In the history of western art there are but few titans. One of the greatest of all these artists, however, is Michelangelo. He stands before us like a colossus, the range of his work reaching beyond that of any other artist before his time, or since. Famed for his sculptures, it is a lesser known fact that Michelangelo was also a great poet. But a writer of love poetry? How could a man who made the heroic figure of David his exemplar fashion poetry dedicated to a woman? Yet he did so, late in his life, to a widow who was also a fair poet herself. Vittoria Colonna, the marchioness of Pescara (1492-1547), became the unlikely object of his affections when Michelangelo was already sixty-three and she forty-four years of age. Italy''s greatest artist nonetheless discovered something in this woman of mature years that fulfilled all his deepest yearnings. These distinctive poems, however, do not address human love but the theme of divine love itself.

Michelangelo: Poems of Love, translated and with an extensive Introduction from the celebrated writer James Cowan, makes available this unique collection of inspiring writings from one of the world''s greatest artists.
