🪡Jane Greer was a favorite mutual, seeing her on my tl made my day beautiful. Read @krcraycraft’s review of her work & you’ll know. She died on St. Mary Magdalene’s Feast Day, my daughter’s birthday.. a day of loss for me, but now one of fuller Hope & Mercy. Please pray for…

“Between the stirrup and the ground, he something sought and something found,” says Pinkie to Rose in Graham Greene’s novel, “Brighton Rock.” @NorthDakotaJane's redemption poetry could be described as a sustained meditation on that metaphor.. oursundayvisitor.com/jane-greers-po…

Chateaubriand observes somewhere that when the peak fever of the Revolution had passed, most people simply didn’t talk about it. The human mind couldn’t process the scale of the madness and violence that had overtaken the world. I think the same will be true as we exit from the…

The #Wordle answer for July 25 is not a word. That is all.

Here’s my question about the whole ordeal: Who the hell is Coldplay?

I just learned the sad news that the poet Jane Greer has passed away. Here’s a tribute to her poetry I wrote last year in @OSV. RIP oursundayvisitor.com/jane-greers-po…

If you haven't read these Catholic classics, you should. If you have read them, their new editions are good reason to read them again. buff.ly/FvXxizf

"Tobin’s new translation makes [‘Diary of a Country Priest’] come alive to the contemporary anglophone reader, renewing my love of this truly great novel. And that corrected translation of the priest’s last words? You’ll have to read the novel for yourself to discover that."

My new column in @OSV, in which recommend excellent new editions of three classic novels: The Edge of Sadness (@ClunyMedia), Diary of a Country Priest (@IgnatiusPress), and The End of the Affair (@WordOnFire). oursundayvisitor.com/3-new-editions…

Bob Dylan’s song on Medgar Evers’ murder reveals how power uses race, fear and hate to turn people into political pawns. bit.ly/3GGmJQb

"Politicians and pundits lament that they will have no one to pick their fruit, scrub their toilets, or trim their shrubs. Their advocacy has nothing to do with welcoming the stranger and everything to do with saving a couple of bucks on their avocados and marijuana." In @OSV

They will have no one to pick their fruit, scrub their toilets, trim their shrubs or wash their clothes if they lose. It has nothing to do with welcoming the stranger and everything to do with saving a couple of bucks on their avocados and marijuana. oursundayvisitor.com/the-political-…
