Author and poet Jay Hulme joins us to talk about his literal and metaphorical search to connect with a variety of ancient and eccentric saintly figures. Weaving together themes of wilderness, faith, sexuality and decay, Jay speaks of the connections he discovered and the inspiration we might find when examining these lives from long ago.
Following the interview Anna and Joy consider their past and present relationships to religious saints and reflect on what role these themes play in their lives today.
Interview begins at 16m 25s
