Second Hour Discussion: Poets Examining their Faith

Emily Dickinson said, “We both believe, and disbelieve, a hundred times an hour, which keeps believing nimble.” We’ll look at a few poems (by Gerard Manley Hopkins, Elizabeth Bishop, and others) which exemplify this kind of “nimble believing,” and we’ll compare them to moments in our own spiritual lives.
