March Poetry Circle: John Donne (1572—1631)
Thursday 9, 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM
John Donne (1572—1631), is often considered the greatest love poet in the English language and a leading poet of the Metaphysical school. He is also noted for producing the most magnificent and electrifying sermons as dean of Saint Paul’s Cathedral in his time. In this session, we will discuss his poetry on love, God, death, passion and suffering, loss and grieving, which he meditated on from his brave and extraordinary life. Sharon Wang, a librarian at the Lawrence Headquarters Branch, will lead this presentation. All are welcome to join.
