The Way Should Not Be Easy

February 15, -
Speaker(s): Saskia Cornes, Assistant Professor of the Practice in the John Hope Franklin Humanities Institute

This session offers an introduction to the work of poetry and the poetry of work. We’ll read some of Virgil’s Georgics, written in 29 BCE, and think together about how the poem's engagement with the non-human world – through farming and gardening – provides tools for living in dark times, both then and now.
