Hardback: Long considered the French John of the Cross, John of St Samson, the blind Carmelite mystic of Rennes is virtually unknown to the English speaking world.
And, more remarkable still, his extensive body of poetry has never been studied in any language.
The Phoenix Of Rennes (1994) presents both the man and his work so that, phoenix-like, he rises up from the ashes of time.
About the author: Dr Robert Stefanotti, a Roman Catholic priest in the Carmelite Order, is the Executive Director of the North American Carmelite Institute (Washington, DC). He has published numerous articles and reviews both in historical theology and contemporary art and lectures annually at the Gregorian University (Rome) and at the Savannah College of Art and Design.
