Arise and Witness: Poems by Anne Montgomery, RSCJ, About Faith, Prison, War Zones and Nonviolent Resistance
Edited by Arthur Laffin with Carole Sargent
Anne Montgomery, RSCJ, was a nonviolent witness in war zones in the Holy Land and Iraq and endured years of imprisonment due to her involvement in Plowshares actions. Her poems are rooted in her love for accompanying the marginalized, born out of her love for Scripture and her experience of religious life and community. These poems provide unique and rich biblical insights into what it means to be human and a faithful follower of Jesus.
