Before Karol Wojtyla became John Paul II, he wrote poetry during years as a quarry worker, playwright, actor, seminary student, and priest. Now Domingo, out of reverence for “the greatest human being I have ever known,” has created this inspiring collection based on JPII’s poems, as an affirmation of faith and tribute to the late Pope. Joined by Josh Groban, Andrea Bocelli, Vanessa Williams, and Katherine Jenkins.
