The Habit Podcast: Dana Gioia on Poetry & Beauty in Solitude



This week on The Habit Podcast, we invite you to listen in on a conversation between the poet Dana Gioia and Cherie Harder, President of The Trinity Forum. They discuss the ways that poetry works as a kind of enchantment, creating a state of heightened consciousness and heightened receptivity, and Dana Gioia makes the case that beauty is a way of knowing the world as it really is. He also reads a couple of poems.

This interview was recorded in 2020, relatively early in the pandemic, as part of the Trinity Forum’s Online Conversations series. If you don’t already know about the Trinity Forum, we hope you’ll seek them out. They’ve been good friends to the Rabbit Room, and we love the work they do to contribute to the renewal of society by cultivating and promoting the best of Christian thought, and helping leaders to think, work, and lead wisely and well.

Find them at TTF.org & tune into their Lenten podcast series by searching “Trinity Forum Conversations” wherever you get your podcasts.
