No Holiday is Holy without Ghosts

This morning I selected at random a podcast interview with Dana Gioia. I have enjoyed Mr. Gioia’s thought, language, and voice before and expected I would again. This instance exceeded my hopes, and it surprised me with how moving I found it, and I thought I should share it. I suggest listening to three minutes of his poem starting at 49:32 until 52:28 to test if the hour may be of worth to you. It left me thinking about what it means to be sealed to the dead and considering what I should be doing to maintain that a living bond.
