Description
This issue of is for the wanderers among us. In a Q&A, the acclaimed poet Christian Wiman writes, “There is some sense of exile — from nature, from other minds, from ‘God who is our home’ (Wordsworth) — inherent in consciousness itself.” Other interviewees include author Sarah Westfall and Christianity Today’s Mike Cosper. Our lead-off essay by Hannah Keziah C. Agustin is about the universal experience of exile as told by an immigrant. The scholar Lorne Zelyck imagines heaven with help from the Gospel of John, and Gretchen Ronnevik writes about the niche movement embracing “traditional” homemaking roles. We also have new writing by author Lore Ferguson Wilbert on the liveliness of dead trees; Peter Severson on living alone; Natasha Smith on grief; Ross Blankenship on the grace of lemonade stands; and Trevor Sides on adoption. Our poetry editor Andy Eaton reflects on the mixed experience of “following the Spirit” and “dying to self” — as a child. With Andy’s help, we are also publishing the most poetry a Mockingbird magazine has ever seen, from poets esteemed and emerging, plus a collection of down-to-earth prayers from theologian and poet Pádraig Ó Tuama. Regular programming continues from Sarah Condon and David Zahl.
