The Hildegard College Great Works Seminar gives students, educators, professionals, parents, and community members the opportunity to read and discuss the ideas that have shaped history’s greatest civilizations. Join us at our FLDWRK campus for a meal, a Socratic-style conversation with Hildegard faculty, and a special lecture.
“Letters Mingle Souls”: John Donne’s Sacred Poetry
Once upon a time, John Donne was the English Renaissance’s greatest satirical and erotic poet, only later to become one of his age’s best writers of sacred poetry. Donne was a metaphysical poet who believed that divine presence was intrinsic to language itself. We can experience God by creatively ordering, and sometimes purposely disjointing, words.
Come discuss a selection of Donne’s sacred poems. Together, we’ll explore and examine the extraordinary power of language to make the sacred present.
