Purgatorio: Divine Comedy, Book Two (Una Dante Alighieri
How does it feel to be made holy?

Dante’s Purgatorio follows the pilgrim as he emerges from the grit and grime of Hell, and comes to the shores of sanctification, the mountain where souls are made holy and beautiful. Join Dante as he climbs the various terraces of the mountain; encounter with him the various trials and hardships that refine God’s redeemed, preparing them for glory; learn what it means to hunger for righteousness and to rest in mercy; join the communion of saints who rejoice in their light, momentary afflictions, and find solace in the trials, as they are conformed to the image of their Lord.

In this new translation of the second canticle of Dante’s Divine Comedy, poet and author Joe Carlson continues to render the epic poem in a fresh blank verse, filled with the wonder and beauty of the original Italian, while maintaining a listenability students and scholars alike will appreciate.
