Poem of the Man-God
On 23 April 1943, Good Friday, Maria Valtorta reported hearing the voice of Jesus. From then until 1951 she produced over 15,000 handwritten pages in 122 notebooks, mostly detailing the life of Jesus as an extension of the gospels. Her handwritten notebooks containing close to 700 reputed episodes in the life of Jesus were typed on separate pages by her priest and reassembled, given that they had no temporal order, and became the basis of her 5,000-page book The Poem of the Man God.
The Man: a Poet's Vision of Jesus
The Man: A Poet's Vision of Jesus continues the author's spiritual journey of faith. Specific events in the New Testament are described or alluded to, but the poetry reflect's Ann's thoughts and interpretations of the life of Jesus. Jesus was the Son of God, but for a brief period, he was a man who lived among men - and changed the world forever. This book stresses his humanity, his ability to understand us and the way we live, and perhaps helps us appreciate even more the sacrifices he made for mankind. This is the second book of poetry published by the author.
The Poets' Jesus

Poets have always been the medium through which a culture talks of, and to, its gods. Now, in this learned but lively commentary, Peggy Rosenthal shows us the astonishing range of poetic encounters with Jesus. With a special emphasis on twentieth-century poetry, Rosenthal draws from an unprecedented range of world poetry--from Africa, the Arab world, and the Far East to Latin America and the West--to give readers an understanding of how different times and different cultures have affected the way poets refigure Jesus and of how poets' fascination with the man from Nazareth transcends all barriers. She also demonstrates that, despite the twentieth century's self-definition as a secular and post-Christian epoch, it has produced poetry about Jesus of truly surprising quality and variety. Impeccably researched and extremely accessible, The Poets Jesus will strongly appeal to scholars of poetry and religion as well as for all general readers of poetry.
