The Poetry of the Sacred with Karen McCarthy Woolf

Auden wrote that the centre I cannot find is known to my unconscious mind. In todays increasingly complex and often urban environment, what is sacred to us as individuals? And how does poetry reach towards a new understanding of the unknown, whether through religiosity, nature or science? Students will be encouraged to generate new work as we explore these issues through close reading of contemporary poets such as Louise Glck, Maitreyabandhu, Daljit Nagra, Alice Oswald, Rowan Ricardo Philips, Adlia Prado and R.A. Villanueva. 5 fortnightly sessions on Thursdays, 6:45pm 8:45pm, starting 9 February.
