81. Her Open-Canon Theology with Poet Tyler Chadwick
Description
In this episode, award-winning writer and English teacher Tyler Chadwick discusses the power of language and the open canon around Heavenly Mother. Walking through his journey of conceptualizing and connecting with The Mother, he describes how he has found Her in poetry. As co-editor of the poetry anthology Dove Song: Heavenly Mother in Mormon Poetry (Peculiar Pages, 2018), with Dayna Patterson and Martin Pulido, he’s felt Her presence in the poetic witness of Mormon poets from the early restoration to today. And as a poet himself, he shares his own witness of the Goddess through delightful poems that appear in his most recent book, Litany with Wings (BCC Press, 2022). Tyler's vision that the seed of the Mother Tree can be planted in our hearts through the word is hope-filled and inspiring.
