Winter Sundays | Robert Hayden [SSL 216]

Today, I’m featuring the admirable work of poet Robert Hayden.
“In Robert Hayden’s work the actualities of history and culture became the launching places for flights of imagination and intelligence. His voice characterized by musical diction and an exquisite feeling for the formality of pattern is a seminal one in American life and literature.” — Arnold Rampersad

Familiarity as Facade / John O’Donohue [SSL161]

Today, I’m reading an excerpt from John O’Donohue’s gorgeous, instant classic from 1997, Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom. The eternal is nearer to us than anything; just as the most familiar can be, or become, the most unknown. Let us pierce the facade of the familiar in order that we don’t grow deadened.
