UPCOMING EVENTS (* indicates a new listing / ** indicates an updated
listing)
*Tuesday, October 14, 2014 6:00 PM
Talk, "Sacramental Poetics," part of the 2014-2015 Speaker Series, "The
Language of Divinity: Modernity and the Deep Past"
Regina Schwartz, Northwestern University
Elie Wiesel Center for Judaic Studies, Boston University, 147 Bay State
Road, 2nd Fl. Boardroom, (entrance to the building is off of Silber Way),
Boston, MA 02215
In this talk, Professor Schwartz will explore how the impulses that inform
ritual can also govern poetry. How, she asks, can the spiritual cravings for
communion with divinity addressed by the Christian sacrament of the
Eucharist be expressed in verse? Surely as sign-making characterizes the
Eucharist, it also does poetry, which is similarly engaged in making present
what is absent. Turning to the work of early modern English poets like
Milton, Donne, and Herbert, Professor Schwarz will consider the sacramental
character of language. The talk will be followed by a public reception.
