A collection of poems by an inner-city priest reflecting time spent in Ireland

Pie Comics began as a college comic strip way back in the mid '00s, when flip phones roamed the earth. But after a shoulder injury forced cartoonist John McNamee to simplify his drawing style and improvise comics, Pie Comics evolved into the beloved strip it is today! This new collection from The Onion and the New Yorker contributor features his most incisive and hilarious comics on knowledge, how we obtain it, and how we distort it.

John McNameeOs personal journal chronicles the endurance of faith through seasons of change and challenge.

The diary of a man trying to live within his religious faith while dealing with the harsh realities of urban America.

Studying theology at Belgium's Louvain University, then working as a priest in Oklahoma in the 1960s profoundly changed the views of one who grew up Catholic in rural Ireland. Interaction with students from Asian and African cultures while pursuing doctoral studies at Germany's Tubingen University created uncertainty, then a growing realization that Catholicism has no more claim on truth than any world religion, culture, or society. Resigning ...

The poems in this collection are observances of the peaceful tranquility of Ireland. Irish-American author John McNamee searches for his "homeland" among the "wind and salt-spray" of the seacoast or a brilliant sunset over the water. He finds comfort in the Irish people, the compassion of a bar owner who lets a homeless man in, the solemn love that overcomes McNamee on a city bus. Written on the author's one-month tour of the Ireland, these po...

Derrybeg and Back offers us a splendid poetic journey from the riven shores of County Donegal to the grit of inner-city America. Along the way we visit churches, airports, schools, half-way houses and more, which John McNamee depicts with a keen eye for local detail. But the many vividly illustrated places to which McNamee takes us evoke another voyage, the journey inward. With a strong sense of justice McNamee negotiates matters of faith, lon...
