Touched by Words: the Companionship of Poets
online with Tim Scorer
Five Tuesdays: March 8 - April 5, 2022
6:00 pm - 8:30 pm Pacific Time
Poets have the capacity to speak of great matters with just a ‘splash of words’ on a page. They have a way of shaping language so their words cut to the heart of our passion for life and our concern for those things that violate life. In these five 150-minute sessions we will let the work of fine poets guide us in our consideration of many things that are on our hearts and minds these days. The character of the gatherings will be invitational, safe, reflective, and affirming.
This is the sixth poetry series Tim Scorer has offered through Naramata. Tim will choose a variety of poems for each of the five evenings organized around five themes which generally emerge from the lively conversations of the group.
Poems for each Tuesday evening will be sent out ahead of each session.
This event is offered through the partnership of Pacific Jubilee and Naramata Centre
The cost for five sessions via Zoom is $195. Online pass holders pay $0.00 for this course (price included in purchase of pass, maximum two guests)
Ages: 18+
Program is fully booked.
