Archive Dive: Luci Shaw on All Shall Be Well

This summer, we're showcasing a few favorite podcasts from our archives. Listen in on this conversation with Luci Shaw from July 2019.

"There is always something new ahead." — Luci Shaw

Today, let’s listen in on a conversation with poet and writer Luci Shaw. This interview originally aired in July 2019, and it’s one of my very favorites, full of the wisdom and perspective that comes with Luci’s 90-plus years of living. She brings such a generous spirit to the conversation, from her stories about her friendship with Madeleine L’Engle to the encouragement she offers to aspiring writers, to the abundance of freshly-written poems she shares with us. For the past couple of years, I’ve hung on to her advice to keep journal notes when life gets too busy for more formal writing. Luci says at one point, “I don’t think anything is ever lost” — and that’s been such a comfort to me when I feel like time is slipping through my fingers. This interview is such a delight and an inspiration. So have a listen! We’re so glad you’re here with us.
