Episode 98: what the devil is capable of
“Religion--hopefully for everyone--raises their curiosity of the world, of these connections that we have with one another that we can see.”
Bay Area poet Vernon Keeve III lost his father during this pandemic. That loss--and that relationship--was a complicated one. His father was a Southern Baptist preacher and lawyer who for most of his life did not extend to his son the grace he was preaching. He suffered from dementia for two years before his death, and was only just beginning to make amends in their relationship before he lost the ability to do so.
In this final conversation of season one, Vernon shares how he's come to terms with his personal history, and used both the past and the present to inspire his writing.
