Rod Pattenden, Jason Goroncy, and Maissa Alameddine were recently interviewed by Meredith Lake for the ABC’s Soul Search program. We talked about art, theology, and other stuff, and about how art really matters in sustaining and developing what is most eloquent and wonderful about being human.

Time of crisis always brings our art on the surface – particularly poetry.
