Today poets Katie Hartsock, J.C. Scharl, and James Matthew Wilson read poems from their latest collections, Wolf Trees (Able Muse Press 2023), Ponds (Cascade Books 2024), and Saint Thomas and the Forbidden Birds (Word on Fire 2024), respectively.
We talk about what it means to each poet to understand their work in today’s world as they identify as Catholic poets. What is the role of gratitude, joy, love, transcendence and the quotidian in the life of their poems?
Please join us this afternoon–
