ep. 143 - Chris Anderson

Rattle Poetry

Chris Anderson was the featured interviewee in our Poets of Faith issue, Rattle #45. Anderson is a recently retired professor of English at Oregon State University, a poet, a retreat leader, and a Catholic deacon. He is the author, co-author, or editor of over a dozen books, including books of literary criticism, textbooks, a book of essays, a memoir, and two books of poetry. His most recent book, Light When It Comes, is a mixture of homilies and poems. His weekly homilies often include poetry and are available by email subscription on his website. For more, visit: https://deaconchrisanderson.com/ As always, we'll also include live open lines for responses to our weekly prompt or any other poems you'd like to share. A Zoom link will be provided in the chat window during the show before that segment begins. For links to all the past episodes, visit: https://www.rattle.com/rattlecast/ This Week's Prompt: Write a demi-sonnet. Next Week’s Prompt: On the elevator, a stranger says something unexpected. The Rattlecast livestreams on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter, then becomes an audio podcast. Find it on iTunes, Spotify, or anywhere else you get your podcasts.
