Diving Deep and Surfacing: Poetry for Healing and Hope
You will be sent the Zoom link to join the session upon registration.
Poetry has been used throughout the millennia to respond to loss and tragedy. The poet’s purpose is to transform her/his own heartbreak and loss into art. In turn, that poetry serves to comfort readers as they journey through their own grief and suffering.
Join Rabbi Jill Zimmerman in conversation with Rabbi Pamela Wax, author of Walking the Labyrinth, her recently acclaimed book of poetry that was written after her brother took his life by suicide.
Rabbi Wax will share some of her own poetry—both poetry that addresses the loss of loved ones, but also poetry that addresses injustice and eco-grief. We will discuss poetry as a spiritual practice for healing and wholeness.
Everyone is welcome. I hope you will join us for this event!
