164 Reading Great Catholic Poetry with Sally Read

March 14, 2026

On this week’s Mosaic Ark, the ladies were joined by Catholic poet Sally Read, who discussed her journey as a writer. Though she started her career as a psychiatric nurse and atheist co-writing a book about women’s experiences with their physical bodies, she became a poet and a Christian through her own unique spiritual experiences which she happily shared with us. Sally also shared with us some of her favorite Catholic poems from her edited collection of 100 Great Catholic Poems, highlighting the unique role of poetry in the creative history of Christianity, as well as the power of poetry to describe the otherwise indescribable. —Streamed March 14, 2026
