The Artistic Vision
Ben Myers: "Intermingling Matter & Emotion in Art"
In this episode of The Artistic Vision, we sit down with acclaimed poet and scholar Benjamin Myers, former Poet Laureate of Oklahoma (2015–2016), to explore the deep connections between Christian faith, poetry, sentimental art, and local creativity. Myers—author of four poetry collections, a book on poetics, and numerous essays—shares rich insights on the role of beauty, truth, and meaning in art and why local, faith-inspired creativity matters now more than ever. Whether you're a Christian artist, poet, writer, or creative thinker, this conversation will inspire and challenge your perspective on the purpose and power of art. Myers is a professor at Oklahoma Baptist University, where he leads the Great Books Honors Program.
