Gerard Manley Hopkins, S.J. (1844-1889) is likely one of the poets greatest
beloved by Catholics. Instantly accessible in its plentiful musical
qualities, Hopkins’s poetry can nonetheless puzzle us with its
idiosyncratic syntax, elliptical phrasing, and even invented phrases.
Thus the necessity for an annotated assortment of his poems, which,
surprisingly, didn’t exist till the current publication (by Phrase
on Hearth) of As Kingfishers Catch Hearth: Chosen and Annotated
Poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins, edited by Holly Ordway. Holly
returns to the podcast to offer an introduction to Hopkins; she and
Thomas talk about 4 of his poems: “The Windhover”, “Carrion
Consolation”, “Endurance”, and “As Kingfishers Catch Hearth”.
