Poetry, Politics, and Spiritual Practice
Marilyn McEntyre

These three dimensions of our lives as citizens and sojourners need to stay connected. It may not be obvious why one might use precious time and energy to read or write a poem at a time like this, but poetry may help equip us in surprising ways for what we face in the nation and on the planet, focus and fuel our lives together and deepen and sharpen the practice of prayer. In this session we’ll explore how that happens and what particular practices may keep us more accountable as we seek to live responsibly and responsively into the historical moment we’ve been given .
