Krista Tippett’s recent guest on her show, On Being, was Marie Howe, the State Poet of New York and instructor at Sarah Lawrence College. It’s a wonderful interview about the power and mystery of poetry. Here she reads a new poem called “Magdelene-The Seven Devils,” her interpretation from the only mention of Mary Magdalene in the Bible.
“Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven devils had been cast out” Luke 8:2.
