Song of the Goldfinch

Song of the Goldfinch is a memoir tracing John F. Deane's faith from his childhood and early adulthood as a strict Roman Catholic through his life as an internationally acclaimed writer and poet. It is an evocative examination of his time as a novice and seminarian, and of his tireless exploration of alternative Christian approaches, punctuated by poetry, both published and previously unpublished. Its insights and experiences are unique to the author as an individual and a poet, and yet wholly relevant to Christian faith in our challenging times. See more
