This Sunday, The Poets Corner presents a reading f This Sunday, The Poets Corner presents a reading from The Nature of Our Times, an anthology born from Poets for Science, gathering voices across art, ecology, and Indigenous knowledge. These poets give witness to how nature shapes us and how, in turn, we shape what remains.

In a time that calls for attention and care, poetry offers a way of seeing more clearly, of remembering our place within something larger.

A free online reading
Sunday, April 12
4:00 to 5:30 PM ET

The way sailors navigate by starlight, poets and w The way sailors navigate by starlight, poets and writers navigate by love. Marguerite Porete, a medieval French mystic, wrote The Mirror of Simple Souls, a book of mingled poetry and prose in which she claimed that one could know God without the intermediary of organized religion. She was burned at the stake and would not recant to save her life.
