Wisconsin Public Radio news reporters are
continuing their series of profiles of Wisconsin authors.
News director Connie Walker kicked off the series
on January 3 with a feature story on Madison-based Parker Palmer, the
acclaimed author and activist who is considered one of the most
influential leaders in higher education.
In his newest book, A
Hidden Wholeness: The Journey Toward an Undivided Life, Dr. Parker brings together four themes that he has
pursued for forty years: the shape of an integral life, the meaning of
community, teaching and learning for transformation, and nonviolent
social change.
Each segment will include interviews with and
readings by the author, and comments by literary critics, other
writers, librarians, or others who can speak to the book's meaning or
experience.
The author profiles can be heard on the first
Monday of every month through December at 5:30 and 7:30 a.m. during Morning Edition and at 5:30
p.m. during All Things Considered.
Coming segments include:
