#43 | Sally Read - Can Poetry Change You?
from Hearts+Minds · host Hearts+Minds
Is poetry something that is incomprehensible to you? Our guest on this episode is British poet and writer, Sally Read. Sally didn’t always “get poetry” and yet poetry had a transformative effect on her. It helped her to connect in a profound way with her patients when she worked as a psychiatric nurse. She explains how in her own poetry she attempted to “grasp the interconnectedness of everything”. She describes what poetry meant to her as an atheist and now as a believer. Sally shares her favourite poets with us and suggests the steps to develop a genuine love for poetry. She finishes with a beautiful reading of one of her much-loved poems.Resources:- Sally Read’s website: https://www.sallyread.net/- Night's Bright Darkness: A Modern Conversion Story (Ignatius Press, 2016)- Annunciation: A Call to Faith in a Broken World (Ignatius Press, 2019)- Dawn of this Hunger, a poetry collection ------------Hearts + Minds Official website - hearts-minds.ieIG - @heartsandmindsireFB - Hearts+Minds | FacebookEmail: [email protected]+Minds events in Dublin, Belfast, Cork, Galway and Navan
