SUMMARY:A Poetry Salon
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER BELOW\nLunch | Discussion \nThis event is designated for current University of Chicago graduate and undergraduate students. University of Chicago faculty and staff are also welcome to attend. Others interested in auditing should contact William Hurley at whurley@lumenchristi.org. Note: The group will not meet on the Friday of November 6th. \nIn the 18th-century\, a distinct culture of the salon and the coffee house developed  in Europe. Here\, in a genteel and generous atmosphere\, lively humanistic conversation was encouraged.  Literary works were discussed freely and hospitably over shared refreshments.  \nAs an institute committed (in part) to making old things new again\, the Lumen Christi Institute will host a poetry salon on Fridays. Over lunch\, participants will read and discuss a great poem together. Neither advance preparation nor expertise in poetry is required.  The only prerequisites are a desire for good company\, good food\, and good poesy.  \nParticipants are encouraged not to prepare beforehand.  Our goal is to read closely and naively\, together. The salon will be hosted by Associate Director and Scholar-in-Residence\, Austin Walker.  \nLunch will begin at 12pm. At around 12:10pm\, we will read the poem aloud. Discussion will follow and we will conclude at 1pm. \nCalendar & Syllabus\n\nOct 16\, Week 1 – William Shakespeare\, Sonnet 73 (“That time of year thou mayst in me behold…”)\nOct 23\, Week 2 –  John Donne\, Holy Sonnet XIV (“Batter my heart\, three-person’d God\, for you…”)\nOct 30\, Week 3 – Yvor Winters\, “Time and the Garden” (“The spring has darkened with activity”)\nNov 6 – No Session\nNov 13\, Week 4 – Gerard Manley Hopkins\, The Windhover (“I caught this morning’s minion\, king-…”)\n\n\n\n \n\n  \n\n \nAbout Reading Courses\nEach quarter\, the Lumen Christi Institute hosts a student-centered reading course at Gavin House (1220 E 58th St.). The reading course is usually held over a shared meal and all participants are provided a copy of the text. Any student interested in a shared reading of a great text is welcome to join. No religious affiliation is necessary.
