Moyers & Company. Poet Christian Wiman on Love, Faith, and Cancer
Description
In this edition of Moyers & Company, Bill Moyers talks with acclaimed poet and Poetry Magazine editor Christian Wiman about how finding true love and being diagnosed with a rare and incurable blood cancer reignited his religious passion as well as his creative expression. "When we think of our memories, they're moments of intensity," Wiman tells Moyers. "Whether they were sorrowful or happy, moments of great loneliness or moments of great communion - we live for these moments in our life. And I do think poetry is a way of recognizing the moments in your life. But also a way of preserving them."
