He is the author, co-author, or editor of over a dozen books, including books of literary criticism, textbooks, a book of essays, a memoir, and two books of poetry. His most recent book, Light When It Comes, is a mixture of homilies and poems. His weekly homilies often include poetry and are available by email subscription on his website.
