[Unedited] Marie Howe with Krista Tippett
b'The moral life, Marie Howe says, is lived out in what we say as much as what we do. She became known for her poetry collection \\u201cWhat the Living Do,\\u201d about her brother\\u2019s death at 28 from AIDS. Now she has a new book, \\u201cMagdalene.\\u201d Poetry is her exuberant and open-hearted way into the words and the silences we live by. She works and plays with a Catholic upbringing, the universal drama of family, the ordinary rituals that sustain us \\u2014 and how language, again and again, has a power to save us. This interview is edited and produced with music and other features in the On Being episode \\u201cMarie Howe \\u2014 The Power of Words to Save Us.\\u201d Find more at onbeing.org.'
