‘Reclaiming the realm of the imagination for the good, the true and the beautiful’ is the author and professor’s latest focus.

As so many turn to Anthony Esolen when wading through Dante’s Divine Comedy, the world-renowned author, speaker and professoris making waves with his new venture, Word & Song.

Known for his thoughtful analysis that touches so eloquently on the Catholic faith while cutting to the core of some of the biggest social plagues of our time, Esolen works now with the intention of “rebuilding our fractured American culture.” With Word & Song, he seems to be righting the wrongs of our postmodern world, a beautiful invitation to wake up to a shared memory that seems to be withering away in a digital age.

The online magazine offers beautiful commentaries and conversations on poetry and prose, the history of music and hymns spanning centuries, classical music and classic films, and even podcasts that feature himself and his lovely wife, Debra, in an effort to “reclaim the realm of the imagination for the good, the true and the beautiful.”

In a Zoom interview, Esolen spoke candidly with the Register about Word & Song, the loss of culture, the epidemic of loneliness in today's world, and how spoken word might inspire a renaissance from all the noise of the day.
