As William Carlos Williams said, “It is difficult/ to get the news from poems/ yet men die miserably every day/ for lack of what is found there.”
Together, we explore the themes of Wonder, Refreshment, Longing and Redemption through the power of poetry by Hopkins, Rilke, Dickinson, Yeats, Mary Oliver and some not-so-famous voices. As past participants have expressed, you will “find a kinship with poets you had no idea about,” “see how poems are food for journaling and prayer in a new way,” “recognize and integrate little known parts of yourself,” and “see God in poetry in a fresh, passionate way!”
