FLORILEGIUM - 23. Convolvulus
Antonia and Kate discuss the reading from the the book of Apocalypse for the feast of All Saints. They read Helen Dunmore’s poem ‘convolvulus’ a poem which looks like its about bindweed - but of course there is always more going on than that. Until we get to Kate's allotment and discussions of garden thugs where bindweed really is taking over. Music: 81 by Joanna Newsom.

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 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.
