How do the forms of poems relate to the forms of prayer? How might the reading of poems help us more deeply engage the psalms, the Bible, and liturgical language? And how might the figures of poetry- small and large-- help us access the mysteries of the Bible and of the Divine? In this course, offered across three weeks, Tess Taylor ( author of five books of poetry and a practicing All Soulsian) will explore some of the shapes, forms and pathways of poetry in and outside liturgical texts—inviting us to use that exploration to deepen our experience of liturgy, prayer and Biblical text. Come ready to read, write, and explore. This class meets on February 2, 9, and 16, at 9:15 am
