The Catholic Culture Podcast: Episode 57 – River of the Immaculate Conception

Dec 3, 2019

James Matthew Wilson’s new cycle of poems, The River of the
Immaculate Conception
is a reflection on the history of the
Catholic faith in the Americas, from Juan Diego to Elizabeth Ann
Seton. Its title is the name given to the Mississippi River by the
missionary Fr. Marquette. James reads four of the seven poems,
explains their relation to the recent Mass of the Americas which
inspired them, and discusses the challenges and delights of poetic
form.
