45 yrs ago, when Dorothy Day asked me to serve as managing editor of the Catholic Worker, I had no idea she was pointing me toward my life's work and vocation--not just as an editor, but as HER editor. Here is my latest edition of her work. @OrbisBooks Next year: The Seventies.

What a record to have edited, Robert. I wonder what it's been like for you to have gone through so much of her writing in such depth. Have you written about that experience?

Not about the experience of editing, per se. This is my 4th volume. #5 just finished for next year. A privilege, a grace, to keep her so close.

Maybe you should think about it. A long essay, perhaps. That total immersion changes something in your head, doesn't it? Your fans would love to read about what it was like for you.
