About Prelude:

"Brynne Rebele-Henry's Prelude travels through time and space to commune with one of history's great literary saints, Catherine of Siena. As the two writers' language braids together, so too does their loneliness, their prayer, their desperate and palpable yearning. 'In the darkness, I whispered hymns like they could keep me,' begins one poem, and it's as if both women are speaking at once. Prelude is richly researched and exquisitely rendered, an unforgettable collection."
