Poetic Anticipations

For those of you who wish to add a little poetry into your Advent season, I am pleased to let you know that my performance of "The Christmas Preface" was broadcast on the Mike Church show yesterday.  The show very kindly made a small podcast of just the performance, which you can access by clicking the icon to the left.

I want to thank Mike personally for his show's commitment to serious Catholic spirituality, devotion, and tradition, and to the effort to build up a richer Catholic culture among the faithful.  It's not every radio host who will say -- as Mike has many times now -- sure, let's have a poet come on the show and read his poems.  That, my friends, is how one bridges the terrible chasm that has opened up in recent decades between politics, religion, and the arts.  Let's hope for more of it in the new liturgical year.
