Description
What are the different ways we define and experience faith? How do faith and doubt intersect? Can a poem become a prayer of sorts? Although we may never find true answers to these questions, the meditations they provoke could help inspire the seed of a poem.
In this workshop, we will read, discuss, and write poems that bridge the divine and the profane, considering how the daily is imbued with the otherworldly. These will be poems sitting at that intersection; neither holy nor blasphemous, but exploring the unresolved liminal space in-between.
This workshop is being facilitated by internationally acclaimed Lebanese poet, Zeina Hashem Beck, whose latest collection, O, was published by Penguin in 2022 and named a Best Book of the Year by Literary Hub and The New York Public Library.
