    In this episode, we read George MacDonald’s poem, “February,” from, “A Book of Strife in the Form of a Diary of an Old Soul.” We look at how this poem may reflect George MacDonald’s wrestling with God, winter, and his relationship with writing. We explore aspects of fatherlessness, death, light, and what it means to be a child. This episode contains spoilers from Sir Gibbie and Castle Warlock!
