Dana Gioia is without doubt one of the biggest Catholic poets working immediately.
On this interview he discusses how Catholic attitudes towards the
arts have modified in latest generations, and the revival of
curiosity in poetry within the tradition as an entire. Dana reads a number of of
his poems, discusses how Catholicism has made his poetry “easier,
extra emotionally direct, and extra unabashedly musical,” and even
offers poets some tips about collaboration with musicians and
composers. Dana and Thomas wrap up by discussing the position of the
critic and highlighting a contemporary Catholic poet Dana thinks ought to
be higher identified.
