AJ Langley speaks to Travis Stevens about the Cistercian nun Beatrice of Nazareth (c. 1200-1268). We talk about distrust of hagiographers, lovesickness, absence, saying "yes and" to ecstasies, the role of the "housewife" in Beatrice's text, and how everyone need to "werk it". We also talk about how great Amy Hollywood is, about making mysticism "sexy" for undergrads, and about Travis's podcast about the history of the devil.
