My comics adaptation of “Gods Grandeur,”a sonnet by the English poet Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844-1889).
Considered one of the most influential poets of the 19th century, Hopkins converted to Catholicism in 1866 and eventually became a Jesuit priest. This comic was originally commissioned by the Jesuit Conference of Canada and the United States to mark the poet’s 179th birthday on July 28 of this year.




a poet friend of mine memorized this poem and recited it at my wedding. What an amazing piece of art you’ve created to bring this poem to visual world. Thank you! 😊🙏🏻
