David Kinloch - Poetry Unbound Plus with Pádraig Ó Tuama

In this conversation, Pádraig Ó Tuama, host of The On Being Project’s Poetry Unbound podcast, and Scottish poet David Kinloch discuss his poetry sequence “Some Women” from "In Search of Dustie-Fute" (Carcanet, 2017) and how the poems in that sequence amplify unheard voices from biblical narratives. David Kinloch’s religious imagination incorporates biblical retellings, the sex life of King David, and eucharistic liturgy through both lament and celebration of a friend’s life. At times heartbreaking, at times raucous, these poems exhibit a profound interest in text and texture of biblical stories.

This conversation is part of the Poetry Unbound Plus Series co-convened by The On Being Project’s Religious Life and Social Healing team and Washington National Cathedral’s Center for Prayer and Pilgrimage. In these conversations, Pádraig Ó Tuama interviews poets about their work and how it explores biblical narratives and characters. These conversations are designed with religious and spiritual leaders, students of theology, and those immersed in poetry in mind, but are offered for all and do not require familiarity with the biblical texts discussed.
