Garrison Keillor’s reading of John Guzlowski’s poem “What My Father Believed,” from his book Lightning and Ashes, is now available at the Writers Almanac website:

The poem talks about John’s father’s faith, how he learned about God in Poland as a child, and how his faith sustained him while a prisoner in a Nazi German concentration camp.

The poem can also be heard on most NPR stations and stations that carry American Public Media programming on December 28, 2007.
