About this Event
Theologian, poet, and professor Christian Wiman returns for his second Trinity Talks event to celebrate the official book launch of his newest poetry collection, The Dance.
Through his profound and lyrical writing, Wiman helps us see the beauty of the world around us, in all its fragility. Offering comfort and a path to spiritual renewal, he explores what he calls “the slow dance of grace and circumstance” and how we may grapple with life’s sorrows and experience joy.
Wiman will read from The Dance and be joined by Summerlee Staten, Trinity’s executive director of Faith Formation and Education, for a discussion reflecting on faith, doubt, and our journey as humans to contemplate the depths of the divine.
Wiman has written, edited, or translated more than a dozen books of poetry and prose, including two memoirs. He has won multiple national awards for his work and has been called “the best devotional poet writing in English” (Poetry). Wiman teaches religion and literature at the Yale Institute of Sacred Music and at Yale Divinity School.
Doors open at 5:15pm with light refreshments offered.
Books will be available for purchase and signing after the talk.
