Poetry Readings from the Farm

Linlathen 3 

Recently, Jesse Keith Butler, the author of The Living Law, read poetry from his new volume at a fundraiser for Windstone Farm Linlathen. Based on a farm in the Ottawa valley, this organization is led by Kirstin Jeffrey Johnson, a prominent George MacDonald scholar. Windstone Farm Linlathen is focused on “Cultivating Community through Theology, Ecology, and the Arts.” Among other events, Linlathen Lectures attract Christian artists and Inklings readers from near and far.

For our Canadian customers, Butler’s book is now available for purchase from Indigo.

Religio Poetae, Part 5 by Dale Nelson: “Wordsworth and Coleridge inspired MacDonald, and MacDonald inspired Lewis and Tolkien. Who would have predicted the enormous blessings for the Christian mind and imagination that came about from the writings of these two Inklings (even as the world descended into violence and vileness that Patmore could not have conceived)?”


THE WEEKLY MACHEN

Stilted Formulas of Courtesy: … the real difficulty is in the production by tens and scores and hundreds of novels, which are, frankly, of no use at all. They have no merit of any sort or kind; they are not funny, they are not exciting, they are not original, they are not well written, they have neither character nor “characters.” They almost make the “non-ens”—the existence of nothing—an imaginable idea.
