What is Poetry Good For? (with Paul J. Pastor)

| June 20, 2024 | 0 comments

Poet, Author, and Editor Paul J. Pastor joins Michael for a conversation on poetry. From a more general discussion of the uses and benefits of poetry to a more specific exploration of some of Pastor’s favorite poetry, get inspired to explore poetry more deeply.

Check out Paul’s work at his website.

Read the article we referenced that Paul wrote for Christianity Today about the crushing Apple advertisement.

You can also read our article on Biblical Poetry if you’re interested in digging deeper.

Stay tuned at the end of the episode to hear “That’s Why” from the record Insomnie, by Moon Bride (formerly Carly Taich).

If you provide your email address, we can get to know one another!

No, it's not a trap. We promise not to bombard your email inbox. In fact, most people complain we don't send enough emails! But here's what you can expect:

  1. In the following week or so you'll get a few messages. These are individually designed to catch you up on all the great things we're doing!
  2. Once you're caught up, you can expect (on average) one email a month, keeping you updated on the progress we're making toward our mission to liberate Christian creativity.
  3. And once you have a handle on our work, we can try to get you plugged in. Maybe you're an artist who wants to get more involved. Maybe you want to keep tabs on our projects. Whatever has drawn you to our work, this is the best way to get plugged in.
