  • Return to "The Journey of the Magi"

    As we close out the Christmas season with Epiphany in the West and Theophany in the East, I wanted to revisit a conversation between Christine Perrin, Matthew Bianco, and David Kern. Their discussion of T.S. Eliot's The Journey of the Magi helped me instantly fall in love with this poem. I hope you enjoy it as much as me.
