When poetry works, it becomes a line of connection between people – the writer, the people whose lives are captured in the poem, readers, and still others. Ironically, this powerful aspect of poetry may be one reason why so many people go out of their way to NOT read poetry – and it may also be why, when people are finally confronted with poetry, they are so glad! Creative writing professor David Ebenbach will share with us. Come for hearty conversation and free lunch!

All are invited to Peace Forum, a weekly lunch and speaker series!
Peace Forum is from noon-1:10pm every Thursday during the school year, in the Earlham School of Religion Dining Room (corner of National Road West and College Ave). Lunch is delicious and free, and conversation is rich.
