Lenten Poems for Leaden Minds is a collection of poems I (Maxwell Vagus) wrote during the 2026 Lenten season.

From Ash Wednesday through Holy Saturday, I composed a poem each day along with with a custom graphic and recording for the day’s poem.

This video contains the audio for “Ash Wednesday,” the first poem, and all of the custom graphics I created for the series.

You can access these poems for free at Lenten Poems for Leaden Minds for a limited time.
