On this episode of the podcast, we interview poet Drew Jackson about his recently published collection of poems (God Speaks Through Wombs and Touch the Earth) in conversation with the gospel of Luke. Among the topics we discuss:
The role of imagination as a pastor and as a poet
How the Christian faith requires all of us to develop poetic imagination
The process of writing poetry based on the biblical text
Honoring the poetic voices that formed us in writing new poetry
The process of writing poetry for sound and playing with structure
The relationship of poetry and prayer

A highlight of this episode is when Drew reads two of his poems so that we can hear them in his voice.
