Using imagery from fields as far apart as the Gospels, classical mythology and modern astrophysics, Father Dunstan Massey in The Mystic Mountain explores the universal Christian hope of the Resurrection. Three Voices accompany a solitary Mourner on his journey to the NewHeaven and the New Earth, where "Death is swallowed up in victory." The seven Sequences of swirling, animated pen and pencil drawings complement his powerful lyrical verse.For Father Massey the fullness of the final revelation is dramatically summed up in . . . a Mountain.Father Dunstan Massey's illustrated poem, The Mystic Mountain, is a perfectwedding of text and image by one artist such as has not been seen since atleast the work of William Blake. By making the Resurrection visible he hasmade it believable. Even more, Dunstan's text speaks to our deepestlongings ? not only to escape the conquest by death but also to be fullyknown and loved ? There is no work in poetry, art or Christian spiritualitywhich gives such flesh to the hope of the Resurrection.
