Seminar: Poetry, Liturgy, and the Writer's Craft

Christian Wiman, Clement-Muehl Professor of Communication Arts, Yale University

This virtual seminar will draw on poets and the expertise of Christian Wiman to think more carefully and critically about how language and liturgy intersect. Cost: $25. Saturday, March 13, 2021, 9am MST, 8am PST. Register here.

Presented by the Institute of Liturgical Studies, Valparaiso University.

For example: How does an understanding of poetry shape liturgy, such as the crafting of litanies and other responsive texts? What place does poetry have in preaching? Who are some recommended poets to read for inspiration? What poetic devices should be encouraged (or perhaps discouraged) for writers of liturgy and sermons? During the conversation, participants will be able to submit questions to Christian Wiman via a moderator.
