Poet & philosopher James Matthew Wilson rejoins the show to read poems from his new collection, Saint Thomas and the Forbidden Birds, published by Word on Fire; and to discuss the tradition of English poetry, especially with regard to meter.

Don't miss the title poem, a verse setting of a passage from Aquinas's Summa Theologiae!
