Acerbic Wit, High Praise, and Wild Strawberries

A couple months ago, I was delighted to see that my work in poetry and criticism was discussed in the Introduction to the latest issue of Logos, a journal of Catholic thought. I kept my joy in my heart, in imitation of the Blessed Virgin. But, I see now that the introduction has been republished as an essay in Catholic World Report. And so, I invite you to read David Paul Deavel on "Poetry's Revival and Mr. Wilson." Click the picture to read the essay.

In almost totally unrelated news, I joined the CatholicCulture.org Criteria film podcast to talk about Ingmar Bergman's greatest film, Wild Strawberries. It was a pleasure to puzzle out this fascinating classic in good company. Click the logo below to listen in.
