News at Eleven: "I think people do reach a point where

nothing that they've depended on works anymore," he [Franz Wright] says, "and they discover a sense of the divine as the one place that continues to welcome us when there is nowhere else to turn. And one day very suddenly, one afternoon, I had an experience that I can't describe, but an experience of the reality of things that I'd formerly admired as beautiful literature, beautiful ethical structures. I suddenly had a sense of the literal reality of Christ's spirit in the world."

He was baptized Catholic in 2000.
