Join internationally acclaimed poet, lyricist/librettist and theatre maker Luke Hathaway at the Sault Museum Tuesday, April 15th at 6 PM for a lecture and Q&A!
"While 2SLGBTQIA+ writers have sometimes said ‘Goodbye’ to Christ — as per the famously censored poem by Langston Hughes — we have sometimes also understood Christian stories by looking to our own queer lives.
This lecture looks at Elizabeth Bishop’s poem ‘The Prodigal,’ Thom Gunn’s ‘Sacred Heart’, and Jericho Brown’s ‘Nativity’, to see how we have worked, poetically, to make space for ourselves, in a tradition of sacred texts sometimes thought — and even said — to exclude us."
This event is hosted by Algoma University's Department of English and History.
Cheese and beverages will be served. Admission by donation.
