Paula Meehan's "My Father Perceived as a Vision of St. Francis" Poetry Moment

A poet and playwright, Meehan has written eight poetry collections, and has had her plays produced on the radio, and in theaters and prisons. In 2015, she was inducted into the Hennessy Hall of Fame for her achievements in poetry.
