- Synopsis
- In City under Siege, poet Mark Amorose ranges widely across Western history. In poem after poem of elegant formality, the reader is taken on a journey from the pre-Christian world through biblical times, on to the high noon of medieval Christendom, and finally, through a flawed Reformation, Enlightenment, and Romanticism, to the spiritual wastelands of modernity. Amorose praises creation, the Catholic Church, Mary, angels, saints, and martyrs; he condemns reductive scientism, soulless commercialism, and self-serving relativism. City under Siege is an heroic defense of the City of God, a city now under siege, yet against which, in the end, no force can ever prevail.
