About this listen
In this special New Year episode, Jordan and Brendan examine the poems “Alive Together” by Liesel Mueller and “As Kingfishers Catch Fire” by Gerard Manley Hopkins. They discuss what it means to marvel, the power of providence, the possibility of “missing out”, struggling to be who we are called to be, the paradox of oneness with Christ, the lilting magic of sprung rhythm, and the playfulness of God.
What We’re Reading:
- Train Dreams by Denis Johnson
- Time of the Child by Niall Williams
- The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane
- The Rise & Triumph of the Modern Self by Carl Trueman
Other Mentions:
- Poetry 180 by Billy Collins
- Jordan’s poets: Mary Oliver, Jane Kenyon, Ted Kooser, Li Young Lee, Denise Levertov, Jim Harrison
- Brendan’s poets: Alfred Lord Tennyson, Emily Barrett Browning, Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, Richard Wilbur
George Macdonald - “The New Name” (from Unspoken Sermons)
