“Thou Hast Thy Music Too”: The Poetry of Aging
Every life stage offers unique challenges and possibilities and, as Keats wrote in “To Autumn,” its particular music. Aging brings its dilemmas: accentuation of losses, bodily and mental impairments, diminishing time. These same challenges are grist for new perspectives, wisdom, and awareness of the temporal and the enduring. In this panel, four poets (of a certain age) will speak to different aspects of aging as a stage of life lived in and with poetry. A younger poet will also reflect on age.
National Jewish Book Award Poetry Reading & Conversation
Five poets whose books have been honored by the National Jewish Book Awards come together to read from their collections and discuss what it means to write on Jewish themes today. The poets reflect on their writing relationships with Jewish histories, joy, trauma, and political injustices and brutalities. The reading includes both winners and finalists of the National Jewish Book Award in the category of poetry between 2018 and 2023.
