Many see the practical as opposed to the poetic, but today’s guest, Sarah Cortez, proves the two can be harmonized and even complimentary. Sarah is not only a distinguished poet and the president of Catholic Literary Arts, but she is also a police officer of 27 years. Today Sarah and Andrew discuss poetry and how it brings us into contact with reality. Sarah shows how God is present in all things even the most difficult and gruesome moments. Her experience as both a police officer and poet give her a compelling perspective on the purpose of poetry and the necessity of joy.
