Radio Maria England

Young people writing poetry can be a revelation as we see in this episode. The imagination under grace can help us to discern the difference between good and evil, real and unreal, true and false in ways that are surprising and arresting. In this episode we move between Narnia and the futuristic landscape of Hugh Benson’s novel “Lord of the World”, where Houses of Euthanasia are the norm. Our writing exercises begin again in our New Term of the Bardschool on air where you get a chance to try your hand at writing as a spiritual practice that also helps build a culture of discernment. THE BARDCAST airs live and can be listened to on www.RadioMariaEngland.uk or digital radio in London, Bristol, South Birmingham and Cambridge at 3:15pm after the Divine Mercy Chaplet on Sundays and 8pm on Fridays. Each week Sarah de Nordwall reflects on poems that have been sent in, shares a poem of her own, leaves us with a theme and a writing prompt and sends us off to write something ourselves. Send your submissions to sarah@sarahdenordwall.com and the rest of the podcasts can be found on Radio Maria England’s website.
