This podcast offers a weekly contemplation on the gospel reading of the week in the form of a poem. With this episode, we are embarking on a new poetic journey: a series of ten poems tracing the disciples' path through the gospel passages that we read annually between St. John's Tide and Michaelmas in The Christian Community. Drawing inspiration from John Donne's "Holy Sonnets," the poet employs a "corona" form, where each poem begins with the last line of the preceding one, and the cycle's first line concludes the final poem. This structure mirrors the spiritual path's forward momentum and cyclical deepening. The complete cycle will be shared on the Perspectives Substack once all ten have been published.
