Prayer is a convergence of absence and will. A poem is a kind of prayer. — Dr. Tonya M. FosterDr. Tonya M. Foster is a poet, essayist, editor, and Black feminist scholar. Her writing and research focus on poetry, poetics, ideas of place and emplacement, and on intersections between the visual and the written. She uses all types of words in her poetry: big and small, beautiful, and vulgar. It is a key tactic of her ongoing study of language.
Every year we choose a theme to inspire us and to create new ways to grow as a community. Last year was our Year of Poetry. In 2024, we celebrate the 175th anniversary of the founding of Grace Cathedral with the Year of Memory. Join Malcolm Clemens Young for a conversation with Foster about poetry as memory and poetry as prayer.
