Anne Montgomery, RSCJ, was a nonviolent witness in war zones in the Holy Land and Iraq and endured years of imprisonment due to her involvement in Plowshares actions. Her poems are rooted in her love for accompanying the marginalized, born out of her love for Scripture and her experience of religious life and community. These poems provide unique and rich biblical insights into what it means to be human and a faithful follower of Jesus.
Arise and Witness is available for purchase online through New Academia publishing, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble.
“This posthumous collection of poems by activist Anne Montgomery illuminates the heart of a woman who gave her every moment in service to impede ugliness, and to do God’s work... In death, this poet continues to give light.” ― Grace Cavalieri, Maryland Poet Laureate
