Workshop: Eve Grubin
In this generative workshop we will study and discuss a range of pre-selected passages from classical Jewish texts such as extracts from the Talmud, verses from the Hebrew Bible, and commentaries by medieval and later rabbis. We will then look at how poets have brought language or ideas from some of these texts into their poems. We’ll study poems by such poets as John Milton, John Keats, Dan Pagis, T.S. Eliot, Lucille Clifton, Sharon Olds, Marie Howe, Yehoshua November, and more. Finally, we will engage with these writing by beginning our own poems in response to them.
- January 26, 2025; 2-4 pm EST
- Handouts will be sent with the texts to be discussed
