Reasons for Étant Donnés

Reasons for Étant Donnés and Reasons for the Long Tu’m (Broadstone Books, 2018) are poems of prayer built from the historical mythology of the Catholic Rosary—represented by three distinct mysteries in Reasons for the Long Tu’m and the newest, modern myth edited into the cannon in 2002 by Pope John Paul II: the Mysteries of Light.

It is suggested to use both volumes of Reasons (Tu’m & Étant Donnés), similar to the Mysteries of the Rosary—in that a set of beads is used to root the spiritual, and is essential in order to contemplate the heart of the work. You may find or view them at www.saracahillmarron.com.
