MODERN POETS AND THE STRUGGLE FOR FAITH

TEXAS CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY

Join me at Texas Christian University on November 7, 2025, from 11:00 am to 12:30 pm for a talk titled "Modern Poets and the Struggle for Faith." This session explores the enduring interplay between art and the divine, reflecting on the idea that God is the ultimate poet of the world. Through the works of four contemporary poets—Carl Dennis, Anya Krugovoy Silver, Luci Tapahonso, and Charles Wright—this talk examines how felicitous verse often seems to transcend the page in search of something sacred. Attendees will gain insight into how these poets navigate the challenges of faith amidst a modern, often disenchanted landscape.
