Nova Forum Seminar: Poetry, Attention, and Joy

  • USC Caruso Catholic Center 844 West 32nd Street Los Angeles, CA, 90007 United States (map)

For our final seminar this year, we turn to T.S. Eliot’s beautiful and profound poem, Four Quartets, in dialogue with an essay by philosopher Simone Weil.

How can poetry respond to the “wasteland” of our fragmented and alienated culture? What virtues of attention and memory do we need to rediscover? How do Christian prayer—and university studies—both require the virtue of attention? Join us for our final conversation!
