Reading Our Truth in the Words of Others
Rev. Julie Brock
Sunday, March 28th, 2021 10:30 EST
What makes the great poets great? A great vocabulary? Mastery of a particular form of verse? The ability to vividly describe a place or object? All of those things help, but I would argue that poetry is the ability to render nearly universal truth into words. Great poetry has us agreeing with its words beyond logic or aesthetics, but with our whole self. Suddenly we know how to describe something we've seen or experienced but has, as of yet, been ineffable. Today we will look at three great works of poetry and see if we can't identify what it is that we nearly universality yearn for in our great poetic works.

CUUB Spring Cleanup
Happy (Almost) Spring!
CUUB Facilities would like to invite those willing to join us for our first grounds cleanup day at CUUB on Friday, April 9, from 4pm to 7pm. This will be a socially distanced event. Since we are outdoors, masks are optional unless we are in close proximity to each other.
Plenty of different projects for all abilities and ages. We have tools but you may bring your own. We do suggest you bring your own refreshments and chairs as there is a good chance a bonfire may breakout at the end if you wish to stay for some distanced social interaction.
