Why Christians Should Read More Poetry

Let’s resist the system and shape our souls, let’s build good character and buck bad culture, by reading good poetry.

In mid-century Mallorca, the Limerick-connected poet Robert Graves and the Nicaraguan-Salvadoran poet Claribel Alegría lived as neighbours. Their friendship developed into a creative collaboration, with Alegría translating a wide selection of Graves’s poems into Spanish, later published as "Cien Poemas de Robert Graves."

For one evening in Limerick, that conversation continues.
