Come listen in as poet and theologian Drew Jackson answers my question, “WHY POETRY?”
Drew is the author of God Speaks Through Wombs and Touch the Earth, which are collections of poetic dialogue with the Gospel of Luke. On this episode, you can expect to hear:
our hot takes on rural versus city living—and the magic (and hassles) of each
Drew’s thoughtful parallels between the social contexts of Luke and our modern-day world, giving voice to those who know what life is like “on the underside of Empire”
wise words from Rilke, Miles Davis, and more
Drew performing one of his new, not-yet-published poems from his latest collection in progress (plus one of my personal
requests from God Speaks Through Wombs!)
a lively dialogue on the importance of “unproductive,” undervalued things (and people!) in our society
something that inspires you to go pick up (or write!) a poetry collection
