Julia Spicher Kasdorf will share examples of ancient and contemporary poetry to demonstrate the longstanding affinity between poetry and prayer, and she will reflect a bit from her own experience. Participants will be invited to write or meditate, so bring notebooks and journals if you wish. Julia Spicher Kasdorf has published three collections of poetry, a book of personal essays, a biography, and has edited an anthology titled Broken Land: Poems of Brooklyn. Her forthcoming book is a documentary poetry project that explores the impact of shale gas drilling (fracking) in Pennsylvania. She is a professor of English and Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies at Penn State, where she teaches creative writing.
