I've never been an Updike fan. Brilliant he was, but few are the sensible base of his Collected Poems™, and so are most of his Collections.
It's hard to follow a fine writer, let alone a good poet, which he was and is: "Updike famously identified sex, art, and religion as “the three great secret things” in human experience." He was onto three towers of our lives....the only one that truly lasts and carries us through life's challenges is "religion."
This is what I treasure in most of Mr. Keillor's writings and doings. Singing his and God's "Gospel Songs", Mr. K....and there's not nearly enough of them. They are the keys to the Heavenly Doors, which God knows we need to stay the portal.
