Sacred and Somatic Panel: Poetry is kin to prayer and spells not only in its aims—to praise and petition the more-than-human world—but in its bodied mechanisms of repetition and rhythm. This roundtable considers the craft of spiritual seeking through poetry, emphasizing the transformative powers of literary language and drawing from diverse literary, religious, and ecopoetic traditions. Panelists also offer a handout of prompts for writers to consider in their own journeys.
Panelists: Alina Stefanescu, Nadia Alexis, Karen An-hwei Lee, and Lesley Wheeler
