On Being with Krista Tippett

BONUS: An Invitation from Pádraig and Krista

What do poetry, songs, and prayer have in common? While preparing for the next season of Poetry Unbound, host Pádraig Ó Tuama sat down with Krista Tippett to wonder at this mystery: that poems land in our lives as though they knew us already, as if they were waiting for us. From Ada Limón to Rosanne Cash to Eugene Peterson — how single lines become a portable ritual, and help us live. Poetry Unbound hears from so many people who’ve encountered a poem and made it part of their life; and whose life adds something to the poem in turn. Pádraig invites you, our dear listeners, to share your stories and experience of Poetry Unbound through <a href="https://bit.ly/3uFiWbR">our survey</a>. And discover what’s waiting to meet you ahead of the release of the very first Poetry Unbound book: <a href="https://bit.ly/3iPsStC">sign up here </a>for the latest.<a href="https://onbeing.org/programs/bonus-an-invitation-from-padraig-and-krista/#transcript">Find the transcript</a> for this show at onbeing.org.
