Poetry Circle: Gerard Manley Hopkins

Poetry Circle: Gerard Manley Hopkins In-Person

Join Poetry Circle friend Gary for an engaging discussion on Gerard Manley Hopkins, a poet whose work bridges the 19th and 20th centuries. A Jesuit priest and professor, Hopkins crafted poetry that embraced the rhythms of everyday speech, yet hesitated to publish his work. His verses, alive with reverence for nature and God, pulse with a unique energy—sometimes jubilant, sometimes shadowed by inner turmoil. Though overlooked in his lifetime, Hopkins' poetry found its place in literary history, sparking ongoing fascination among poets and critics alike.
