In Episode 15 Antonia and special guest Ben Norris wander into a wood and get lost in John Burnside’s poem ‘Lost’, They try to work out if there are different ways of being lost and how this might relate to the Gospel (Matthew 10:7-15) of being sent out without shoes, haversack or purse. Since it is the feast of St Benedict on 11th July, they wonder about his rule and the relation between the manual work of the garden and prayer and how this might create a ‘rule of peace’. Music: Peter and the Wolf, Op. 67: Nos. 1 by Sergei Prokofiev connected by Leopold Stokowski and performed by the Stadium Symphony Orchestra of New York.

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.
