Part of the California Poets Series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMary Ann McFadden is extraordinary, a master of words and artifice from whom to study and learn. If the reader is looking for insights into the state of human affairs after these sev-eral thousand years, it is here. If the reader is looking for ways webs of blood weave families across generations, it is here. If the reader is looking for confirmation that lives are complicated, that love, though necessary, is elusive and definitions hard to pin down, it is here. If the reader is looking for affirmation of their feelings of foreboding about the slide of the natural and political worlds, it is here. If the reader is looking for proof of the will to go on against soaring odds, it is here. And if the reader is looking for expression of all of this in an original, stunning, memorable language, that magic is here also. The poems in \u003cem\u003eRosa Mundi\u003c\/em\u003e encompass the essence of how great language strikes the visceral human core.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-David Oliveira, author of \u003cem\u003eStill Life With Coffee \u003c\/em\u003e(Brandenburg Press)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI find these poems blessing and sustenance. They locate, they praise the Rose of the World that unfurls in this life, in this broken and breathtaking world that we have inherited and that we go on making. \"Tell me, Love\" Mary Ann McFadden writes, \"where is the source of what's best in us?\" Her poems know how to an-swer. I prize McFadden's bracing voice, clear eye, humor, passion, humanity. I love the way she puts a poem together, \u003cem\u003eRosa Mundi\u003c\/em\u003e is luminous.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Lisa Coffman, author of \u003cem\u003eLikely\u003c\/em\u003e (Kent State University Press)\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.23 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 04, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53377627783475,"sku":"9781957062280","price":27.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/Krf4kcOOFE9781957062280.webp?v=1779325998","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/rosa-mundi-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
