The Fifteenth Station

Poetry December 2012 ISBN 978-1-936628-15-5 35 pages Softcover 5½" x 8½"

The Fifteenth Station is the winner of the Judge's Choice award in the Accents 2012 Poetry Chapbook Contest. "George Bernard Shaw's Saint Joan poses the question: "Must then a Christ perish in torment in every age to save those that have no imagination?" E. K. Mortenson has the imagination cried out for. The Fifteenth Station performs one mighty task of poetry: Gospel-truth. This sequence translates the Passion into compassion, from condemnation to resurrection, using subtle technique in the service of bold story-telling, and story-telling in the service of empathy, challenge and engagement" - J. Kates, Author of Metes and Bounds.
