All Episodes
In this episode of Dialogue Book Report, we gather three celebrated voices in contemporary LDS poetry for a conversation about faith, family, and the sacred in everyday life.
Poet Zachary Hutchings discusses Joseph: An Epic, his ambitious poetic retelling of Joseph Smith’s early prophetic years. Lance Larsen reflects on Making a Kingdom of It, a collection that uncovers moments of grace and divinity in the ordinary textures of daily living. The conversation is moderated by Elizabeth Garcia, former poetry editor at Dialogue, who also introduces her newest collection, Resurrected Body, an intimate exploration of women’s experiences reclaiming identity after childbirth.
Together, these poets explore how verse becomes a space for theology, memory, and meaning—where spiritual inheritance meets lived experience, and where language itself becomes a form of devotion.
Tune in for a rich conversation about poetry that wrestles with belief, honors embodiment, and reveals the sacred in both the extraordinary and the overlooked.
