“…a whole new understanding of the way the mind works and the way mercy comes…”
In this conversation Allison Seay and I discuss her poetry and her faith. We dig into mental health, faith, mercy, and scripture as poetry. I think you’ll find something for you along the way. As always, I’m grateful to Allison for her time and openness and I’m grateful to you for reading and listening.
