Poetry and
Short Stories
To become truly
virtuous and well-rounded people, children must
learn to appreciate and love literature that is
beautiful and true. Fostering this appreciation will
also help inspire our young people to use their own
God-given talents to carry on the long tradition of
Catholic art and literature.

Broken Crusts
Songs of Faith and Freedom
Clifford J.
Laube
One of the truly great Catholic poets of the 20th
century, Clifford J. Laube’s devout, evocative,
and erudite poems were originally published in
some of the most widely read and prestigious
periodicals, both Catholic and secular. Born in
poverty to a Colorado prospecting couple in 1891,
Laube overcame enormous obstacles to become a
celebrated figure in Catholic arts and
letters—editor at the New York Times, President of the
Catholic Poetry Society, founder of a small press,
and recipient of four honorary doctorates. This
collection of his work captures the heart and soul
of the man—his love of the natural world, his
attachment to family, and above all, his devotion
to the transcendent God as revealed through the
teachings of the Catholic Church. Broken Crusts
will occupy a treasured place in the homes of
Catholic families and is especially well suited
for students learning about the classical poetic
forms in English.

The Menagerie of
Marsepink
by Claudio R.
Salvucci
A young zoology professor arrives at a prestigious
Long Island college filled with jaded,
materialistic scientists. But in a tower high
above their heads, the college's angelic heiress
devotedly watches over a collection of handmade
animals made of a more mysterious stuff than cloth
and string. A tribute to the works of Nathaniel
Hawthorne, The
Menagerie of Marsepink is a short moral
allegory on the limits of natural science and the
supernatural reality of the soul.
