Ten years ago today I founded Wiseblood Books in an effort to foster works of fiction, poetry, and philosophy that find redemption in uncanny places and people and articulate faith and doubt in their incarnate complexity. What a beautiful way to celebrate our anniversary!

The raison d'etre of this publishing company, Contubernales, fulfills a pretty niche desire of mine - learning Latin and having nice printed readers to do it with.

Seems worth sharing. Hopefully I'll be able to buy a book or two sometime.

“The pleasantest of all diversions is to sit alone under the lamp, a book spread out before you, and to make friends with people of a distant past you have never known.”

“Literature enlarges the mind and opens the heart, and is a precious gift of culture, both a doorway to understanding and the occasion of instructive aesthetic pleasure. In the present critical climate, I believe that we need to be reminded of that.”
—James W. Tuttleton

“Although all persons may be created equal, all literary texts are not. The power of words is not separable from clarity, vigor, and grace of style any more than a writer’s depth of vision is separable from confronting life’s complexities.”
—John P. McWilliams, Jr.

The very essence of education is not to confirm the young mind in its natural temperament, in its tendency to pursue the present and easier pleasure, but to set before it the stirring example of those who have found their joy and consolation in the higher things.
