I am utterly floored to read Ethan Hawke, writer & director of the new film about Flannery O'Connor, quoting from RADICAL AMBIVALENCE, my book about O’Connor and race

@amjuster Oh, my! So glad you are okay! I was in a Florida ER on the Ides of March after my Uber driver was T-boned in an intersection. 2 days later we were back as my 8 year old granddaughter needed an emergency appendectomy. Spent our vacation in the ER. Can't recommend it Be well!

@amjuster I admire your collective courage. Blessings on your journey. May Virgil, Dante, Petrarch--and ALL the saints-- be your guides.

@GibsonWrites Certamente!

[Angela Alaimo O'Donnell @AODonnellAngela]

I'm happy to share this poem in the new issue of @ChristianCent, a meditation & a recognition that the condition of being an immigrant is common to us all. Thanks to poetry editor @jbaumgae for choosing the poem.

@PhilKlay Jeezus! Terrific piece!

[Angela Alaimo O'Donnell @AODonnellAngela]

@amjuster @SallyThomasNC Well, the end rhyme "dying" showing up every 6 lines helps.

[Angela Alaimo O'Donnell @AODonnellAngela]

@Md1819 @americamag @FordhamNYC @curran_center Thank you, Scott. Yes, Heaney learned a lot from Frost. His poetry gave Heaney permission to write about rural life in Derry, where he grew up. Two great poets.

[Angela Alaimo O'Donnell @AODonnellAngela]

Today marks the 13th anniversary of Seamus Heaney's passing. I am sharing this In Memoriam piece I wrote for @americamag after his death. We miss you, Seamus--the poetry world is poorer without you in it.

@poorerthandead @CityLightsBooks One of the great honors of my life was meeting Marie (twice!) and giving her a lifetime achievement award in the Catholic Imagination at @FordhamNYC. She was, like Flannery, a big fan (& dear friend) of William Lynch SJ, who was a Fordham professor, as well as editor of THOUGHT

[Angela Alaimo O'Donnell @AODonnellAngela]

@poorerthandead @CityLightsBooks Thank you for this post, Dave! How wonderful that Flannery read the poetry of her fellow American Catholic writer, Marie Ponsot. She surely would have recognized Marie's brilliance. https://t.co/h5FyvJGoTt
