Course Description:
This course will revolve around two questions: What is " spirituality"? How does poetry speak of this experience? As part of our exploration of these questions, we will read poets both ancient and modern, from the Sufi mystics to Basho and Rilke; from Native Americans, to Emily Dickinson, to contemporary Americans like Jericho Brown. Equally important, we will write daily, creating a practice immersed in vivid language and personal experience, the sources of all powerful poems. |
