No Small Endeavor

Unabridged Interview: Christian Wiman

Lee Camp engages with acclaimed poet and author Christian Wiman to discuss his latest memoir, "Zero at the Bone: Fifty Entries Against Despair." Wiman, former editor of Poetry Magazine and a faculty member at Yale Divinity School, explores themes such as the role of suffering in deepening intimacy, embracing ambiguity in faith, and the transformative power of poetry to navigate life's contradictions. Diagnosed with a rare form of lymphoma over two decades ago, he shares how his illness has shaped his understanding of joy versus happiness, grief, and the pursuit of meaning.
