Summary
To mark Eva Brann's fiftieth year on the faculty of St. John's College in Annapolis, Maryland, twenty-three of her colleagues, friends, and former students have contributed essays, poems, and artwork to The Envisioned Life. They celebrate Brann's "passion for learning and her deep love of books, her breadth of knowledge and interests, her boundless energy, her mastery of the spoken and of the written word, her virtues of leadership, and her bright and generous spirit." Paul Dry Books has published three books by Eva Brann: Homeric Moments, The Music of the Republic, and Open Secrets / Inward Prospects.
