New EarthDIverse course on Poetry and Ecospitituality
Interested in poetry and the intersection between environment and spirituality? Check our new Term 4 course entitled “‘To See a World in a Grain of Sand’ — Ecospirituality in Poetry from around the World” with Dr Norman Franke, PhD, in our World Literature series of courses at EarthDiverse.
Throughout the ages and in different cultures, poets have celebrated and wondered about nature (creation) and the divine. Using English translations of some seminal works at the intersection of eco-poetics and spiritual poetry, this paper invites you to explore and discuss international poetry in a friendly, informal setting.
This course meets Wednesday evenings beginning 20 October 2021 from 6:30-8:30pm. Check out our website for more information.
