Spiritual Renewal Through Poetry January 24 · 2:00 PM · Parlor Robert Frost once defined a poem as “a momentary stay against confusion.” Good poems can help us see ourselves and our lives more clearly, trigger moments of epiphany, and cut through the confusion of life to what truly matters. They grapple with some of the most basic spiritual questions: How can we lead a meaningful life? How can we make sense of loss and joy? How can we connect on a deeper level with ourselves and others? In this program we will read and discuss poems that deal with spiritual issues in the broadest sense of the term.
