Michaelmas gales assail the waning year, And Michael’s scale is true, his blade is bright. He strips dead leaves; and leaves the living clear To flourish in the touch and reach of light. Michaelmas: a sonnet for St. Michael the Archangel malcolmguite.wordpress.com/2…

If a toddler hands you a storybook to read to them, that's a sign of great respect in their culture

What is a Saint? A particular individual completely redeemed from self-occupation; who, because of this, is able to embody and radiate a measure of Eternal Life. His whole life, personal, social, intellectual, mystical is lived in the supernatural regard. What is he for?

My child likes to give joke answers to the question "What is your name?" but today he hit us with "Name is... Saint Teddy!" 🥹

Just found what I am 100% confident is the best used book store in the US. Four stories of narrow corridors with no AC. Aisle lights are kept off to save money. I ended up spending $71.50 here.

Your pub's flag isn't on the moon
So America turns 250. That's cute. My local pub is 364 years old.

Today completes the publication of "American Quartet" with what I hope is the best of the bunch, a poem simply called "1776." See link in reply.

Really appreciated this piece in @thelampmagazine from @BMcGrewvy on the wonderful experience of a literary childhood. I resonate with much of what she said and long for the days of sweet, uninterrupted bliss! thelampmagazine.com/issues/i…

Here's a little poem I wrote a few years ago about spring, May Day, and all things passing away... ekstasismagazine.com/poetry/…

My child has an abundance of toys, but what has he chosen to play with all day? A single shallot.

What questions! Come and feast on the answers at Pusey House!
Are Pilgrim's Progress & The Brothers Karamazov 'Christian' novels? If so, why? Because they present morality & mortality in a certain way? Can a novel be Christian even if its author is not? Can a novel be Christian if its story is a tragedy? Come & find out at our conference!

Very excited to be able to (virtually) attend this conference on "What Makes a Novel Christian" at @PuseyHouse in May. Any other folks stateside can attend for the low low rate of £15! puseyhouse.org.uk/conference…
