Padraig O Tuama and Marilyn Nelson So let us pick up the stones over which we stumble, friends, and build altars
b'Where to turn to find my place of standing when it feels like the world is on fire? This question surfaced in a public conversation Krista had just a couple of years ago with P\\xe1draig \\xd3 Tuama and Marilyn Nelson, two poet-contemplatives. P\\xe1draig weaves together social healing, poetry, and theology. Marilyn is a lyrical excavator of stories that would rather stay hidden \\u2014 yet as she coaxes them into the light, they lead to new life. This conversation is a pleasure and balm, and a reminder that the ruptures and unease and reckonings of what we call \\u201cthis moment\\u201d were all before us before the pandemic. P\\xe1draig and Marilyn\\u2019s offerings are beyond wise, and distinctly tender and powerful for this now.'
