A priest, a minister, and a Hasidic Jew walk into a poetry festival . . . and have a conversation about their favorite spiritually-engaged poems and poets, what “devotional poetry” means in the 21st century, the relationship between poetry and sacred texts, and the role of faith and doubt in poetic practice. There will be no proselytizing in this session, except about poetry!
