A conversation between Colin McEnroe and Christian Wiman
What is the relationship between poetry and faith? Why write poetry? Why do we need awe? Join us for a live taping of The Colin McEnroe Show as Colin and poet Christian Wiman discuss poetry, consciousness, faith, awe, and whatever else is on their minds.
Monday, April 6 from 5:30 - 6:30 pm at the Yale Divinity School Old Refectory
Public radio’s most eclectic, eccentric program.
Tackling subjects like Neanderthals, tambourines, handshakes, the Iliad, snacks, ringtones, punk rock, Occam’s razor — you get the idea. Plus, on Fridays, we convene an informal roundtable about the week in culture.
