Meet Ravenna Cole: a poet and musician (and mother of four) releasing her first book after a twenty-year vision quest. In this episode Ravenna talks about finding poetry, giving it up for philosophy, and then finding it again, her conversion to Catholicism as a result of her philosophical studies, painting a picture of poetry that is alive and vital, that heals and empowers, and that can save your life, if you're willing to let it in.
