FLORILEGIUM - 3. The Journey of the Magi

Florilegium is a programme which seeks to weave together liturgy, literature and  gardening in rambling hopefully fruitful ways.  In episode four Kate and Antonia journey into the epiphany with Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, ‘The Journey of the Magi’ by TS Eliot and the joy of bulbs in a winter garden. 

About the creators

Antonia leads a patchwork life with jobs including but not limited to mother, book designer, editor, actor and teacher. She and Kate began discussing poetry, liturgy and gardening at the Willibrord Fellowship reading group in London and are delighted to be continuing these conversations on Radio Maria. 

Kate is a teacher of Literature, Philosophy and Theology, with a particularly keen regard for the poet and artist David Jones around whom many of her studies and her teaching-subjects have been based. She also briefly worked as a gardener in London, though she now lives with her little boy on the river Exe in Devon.
