| Summary: | Carmelite poet Jessica Powers (1905-1988) lived and wrote in New York City during the height of the Catholic Revival, but she is generally ignored in writings about this time period in the history of the church in the United States. While most of the leading figures of the Revival were urban converts, Jessica Powers' rural Wisconsin Irish Catholic background distinguishes her from other Catholic Revivalists. This article situates her in the ambiance of the Revival and explicates some of the poems from her New York years. |
