First, an interview with Irish poet Seamus Heaney, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1995, about his first compilation of poems since, "The Spirit Level", which takes its title from the Irish term for a carpenter's level. The volume volume deals with the search for a balancing point in ethical, moral, and spiritual affairs. Then, a conversation with philosopher, teacher, and author Huston Smith, who has dedicated his life to the study of the world's religions. He talks about his life work and the book that has been a bestseller since it was published in 1958, "The World's Religions".

Yeah, I was shocked when I saw his photo. He looks a little bit Mongolian and it is possible that he has that lineage.

He's so grounded, just seems like a nice guy.

His Beowulf rocked my world, I love it from the first word to the last (but especially the first).Also, Digging is just amazing. I used to recite it to my late grandfather, so it has special significance to me beyond just being one of the greatest poems to read aloud I've ever come across.

Check out the work of Irish poet Patrick Lewis Strachan. He's new on the scene, but there hasn't been a poet of that calibre since William Blake. Strachan's poems, The Imperial Heart, The Partisan & The Testimony of Night are each a poetic masterpiece, three of the finest poems I've ever read. A master poet, up there with Heaney, Yeats, Larkin & Blake...however, you'll need a strong gut to read this man's work: he's not like the others...so, so dark & menacing & angry.
