#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
