No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event
Modernity has brought on the growth of the state, world wars, and weapons of mass destruction. These developments have in turn changed the meaning of death, honor, and belonging. Poetry captures the power as well as the nuances of these changes in existential meaning. The session will include readings from Auden, Pound, and Milosz, among others.
