Three weeks ago I flew to Lexington, Kentucky, to film an interview for a new documentary about the Catholic poet, Francis Thompson, and his classic poem, “The Hound of Heaven”. The trailer for this exciting new film has now been released. Here’s the link:

About the Author: Joseph Pearce
Joseph Pearce is a Catholic author and biographer who has written about subjects as various as GK Chesterton, economics, and Shakespeare.
I remembered the name but could not remember if I ever read him. I checked out my Norton’s Anthology and he’s there but they only list two poems. So I went over to Amazon and clicked a free edition in Kindle format. I’m sure they’ll be typos and the formating might not be the best but you can’t beat the price. Plus the poems are in the public domain, so I’ll check on line if I’m really interested in a particular poem. Thanks for bringing him to the forefront. You’ve piqued my curiosity.
One of the greatest poems of all time.
Thanks. I hope to see this film, but if I miss it, it’s lovely to be reminded of the poem.
