THE BARDCAST - Sarah de Nordwall 23. Taking Risks with Grace

FLORILEGIUM - 18. 'In Lovely Blue' feat. Rosemary Black
In Episode 18 Antonia and Rosemary Black discuss Mary’s creative ‘let’, Holderlin’s poem ‘In Lovely blue’ and what it is to dwell. They move onto ways of thinking about the house and garden relationship. They are joined by two little people who didn’t want to nap.
Music: Mantle (Ave) by Joseph and Rosemary Black.
Florilegium is a programme on Radio Maria which seeks to weave together liturgy, literature and gardening in rambling, hopefully fruitful ways. It is written and presented by Kate Banks and Antonia Shack.
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 (currently on leave from Florilegium) 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.
