Poet: Scott Cairns

David Stringer introduced me to this poet, Scott Cairns, and his outstanding book of poetry, Philokalia: New and Selected Poems. Poetry is not only important because it is a continuation of the wisdom tradition's most fundamental means of transmission, but because in our day it may be the last vestige of the prophetic voice available to the modern world. This particular volume is beautiful and full of insight into the deeper meanings of sacred tradition. I recommend it to you.
