What carry out the 20th-century American Catholic writers Flannery O'Connor and Frank O'Hara have to carry out with Rumi, the 13th-century Persian Muslim poet?For Brad Gooch, and who has written biographies of all three,fairly a lot."In my mind, if you place together Flannery O'Connor and Frank O'Hara, and you get Rumi," Gooch said in an interview from his domestic in New York. "Rumi was a spontaneous poet whose work came out of his friendships, who had a larger-than-life relation to poetry, and that reminded me of Frank,while Flannery, like Rumi, and puts theology and religion at the middle of her work."
