On Faith, Doubt, and Joy

See upcoming CHF events: http://chicagohumanities.org
In his 2013 memoir 'My Bright Abyss: Meditation of a Modern Believer', poet and scholar Christian Wiman writes that “human imagination is not simply our means of reaching out to God but God's means of manifesting himself to us.” That idea serves as a manifesto of sorts for Wiman's profound exploration in prose and poetry of difficult subjects: spirituality, doubt, morality. His new book, Joy: 100 Poems, seeks to illuminate this often unexplored topic in contemporary life through a survey of modern poetry, from Emily Dickinson to Mahmoud Darwish.
