Poetry often flourishes in times of crisis, whether a pandemic or war. The last two years brought us both — and the reading of poetry is up 30%. It’s not surprising; from our earliest days, humans have turned to poetry to sustain our spirits. Join poet, essayist and teacher Holly J. Hughes to explore how poems offer solace and wisdom in challenging times. She’ll discuss how poetry can heal and share examples of poems that can sustain us, focusing on poems by a diverse selection of contemporary poets.
