Poets and the Bible, Granada, Spain
10 – 14 July, 2017
Many contemporary poets are using biblical texts – appropriating the text according to their own imaginations.This retreat will explore poets whose work builds on religious literacy and stretches the boundaries of faith, belief, religion and prayer, including Marie Howe’s writings about Mary Magdalene, Symmons Roberts’ Psalmody and Alison Funk’s take on the mother of the Prodigal Son, among others.
Led by Pádraig Ó Tuama, leader of the Corrymeela Community in Northern Ireland. €475 (DB) / €525 (IN)
