SUMMARY:Poetic Contemplation and the Divinity Within

We will inhabit the poems of John Koethe and others to deepen our contemplative awareness of the world and the divinity within. Please join us for this deep dive into modernity and modern poetry. \nIt is highly recommended that you pick up a copy of John Koethe’s thin volume of poetry\, Cemeteries and Galaxies (Farrar\, Straus\, Giroux\, 2025) in advance.
