Our discussion today centers around his book The Love that Moves the Sun and Other Stars, a poetic reflection and commentary on Dante's Divine Comedy published by Wipf and Stock.

Poet, David Russell Mosley, joins us to talk about Dante in light of the Pope's recent Apostolic Letter that we all read Dante this year, and the popular 100daysofdante.com reading group. We talk about the place of poetry in the Catholic Intellectual Tradition and discuss how an individual may benefit from both the reading and writing of poetry.
