1982 Collected Poems by Sister Alice Gustava Smith, C.S.J. Hardcover. Measures about 9.5" by 6.25". 90 pages. No dust cover. Very good condition.

This 1982 edition of Collected Poems offers a profound glimpse into the literary contributions of Sister Alice Gustava Smith, a member of the Congregation of Sisters of St. Joseph. The hardcover is bound in a deep cornflower blue cloth that features a subtle tactile ribbing, providing a dignified presence on any bookshelf. Without the distraction of a dust jacket, the gold gilt lettering on the cover stands out with clarity, reflecting the quiet strength of the verse contained within its ninety pages. Sister Alice Gustava Smith was known for her intellectual depth and her work at St. Catherine’s, making this volume a significant piece of regional and religious literary history from the early eighties.

The minimalist aesthetic of the binding allows the craftsmanship of the era to shine, emphasizing clean lines and durable materials. This volume is an ideal addition to a collection of female poets or ecclesiastical literature. For styling, consider placing this book atop a mahogany desk or within a curated stack of mid-century academic texts to highlight its vibrant blue hue. Its slim profile and scholarly tone make it a thoughtful gift for those who appreciate the intersection of faith and the written word.
