Craft Talks
“ I just wanted to thank you again for yesterday's webinar. I found it so helpful and informative. I sign up for so many of these offerings on Zoom, but often walk away feeling like I didn't learn anything, let alone sparked with enthusiasm. That was not the case with yours yesterday. Your questions to the panelists were specific and spot-on, and their responses were beyond helpful. I walked away with notes and excitement. Thank you so much for the time it took you to coordinate all of that and to deliver such a wonderful hour or so. ”

Everything Matters: Exploring the Creative Imagination with Rainer Maria Rilke with Dr. Mark S. Burrows, PhD
Explore the imaginative world that lives in Rilke’s poems with one of the leading interpreters and award-winning translators of his writings. We will consider what Rilke meant when he insisted that “poems are not feelings, but experiences,” and what it means to encounter—and write—poems with that in mind. Rilke also insisted that everything, to the minutest of things, was alive as part of what he called “the Whole,” and thus that everything mattered. His poems encourage us to widen the lens of our perception to the point that we begin to see that—and how—“everything matters” in our lives and in the world we inhabit together.
