Dana Gioia is one of the biggest Catholic poets working today. In this interview, he discusses how Catholic attitudes towards art have changed in recent generations, and how the revival of interest in poetry across cultures has changed. Dana reads some of his poems, discusses how Catholics have made his poems “simpler, more emotionally direct, more embarrassing music,” and even gives the poet some hints about collaborating with musicians and composers. Dana and Thomas conclude by discussing the role of critics and highlighting the contemporary Catholic poet Dana.
