In Review: Celebrant's Flame Daniel Berrigan in Memory and Reflection By Bill Wylie-Kellermann Cascade Buy from Bookshop.org 'If you have met Daniel Berrigan you have met Christ, because he dwelt within him.' So says one of the many voices whose harmony make Bill Wylie-Kellermann's chorus of reminiscence for Berrigan sing. This patchwork quilt of poetry, prophecy, and prose doesn't so much argue for Berrigan's canonization as assume it—and thereby challenge the conventions of sanctity, as Berrigan himself couldn't see a convention without perceiving its militaristic bias, its racist subtext, or its hypermaterialist presuppositions.
