This poetry course will focus on and emphasize the role of “spirituality” in poems from around the world. We’ll examine how poetry is ideally suited to express what is “heartfelt” in life, and in so doing, reveal how beautiful verse can enable the “burnishing of one’s soul.” We’ll examine themes such as joy, grief, longing, loss, mindfulness, imagination, and love of nature. Some of the poets we’ll consider are Emily Dickinson, Rumi, William Blake, Hafez, Rilke, Kabir, Li Po, Goethe, Yeats, William Stafford, Wallace Stevens, and Mary Oliver. The text for this class is “The Soul is Here for its Own Joy: Sacred Poems from Many Cultures,” edited by Robert Bly.
Concurrent with "Windows 11 and Me" and "Who Passed the Law of Supply and Demand? An Introduction to Economics."
