Poets have the gift of seeing almost everything and keeping it to a few words. During the five Sundays of Lent culminating in Palm Sunday, we will listen to the Gospel lesson for the day before exploring how a poet has listened too.
Readings and poems will be provided, so all you need to do is show up and enter the conversation. Poets will include Madeleine L’Engle, George Herbert, Emily Dickinson, Bob Hicok, John Donne, and Vassar Miller.
The class is lead by Esther Richey. Esther is Professor Emeritus from the University of South Carolina where she taught Shakespeare and Seventeenth Century poetry and prose. Most of her publications analyze her favorite poet, George Herbert, who has the same birthday as Esther and Mother Caitlyn Keith.
