Poet and writer Dana Gioia–founder of the Catholic Imagination Conference and former Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts–joins Kimberly Belcher ‘03 MA, ‘09 Ph.D., associate professor of theology, J. J. Wright ‘14 MSM, ‘17 DMA, Grammy® Award winner and Director of the Notre Dame Folk Choir, to discuss his craft: the sound of language, the nature of inspiration, and the importance of poetic literacy among Catholic Christians.
