Poets and the Faith
About
In the coming year at St Peter's Eastern Hill, we are hosting a series of talks about significant poets who have inhabited - or skirted the fringes of - the Anglican and Catholic traditions of Christianity.From Gerard Manley Hopkins to R.S. Thomas, from Emily Brontë to W.H. Auden, how did their poetry enrich and challenge their understanding of the faith? How did the faith inform their poetic vision? What can they help us to see of God and of our lives in the world?
Such are the questions our speakers will address as we gather on the second Tuesday evening of each month, a glass of something and some nibbles in hand.
These are addresses with no prior knowledge necessary. Only an interest to learn something of the lives, craft and spirituality of the poets in question. There will be opportunities to respond and discuss, and to hear some verses recited in that context in which, we believe, they are meant to be heard - in the lived gathering...
All are welcome!
