Nova Forum Seminar: Poetry and Wonder led by Prof. Jason Blakely and Prof. Leigh Tost. This event takes place at the USC Caruso Catholic Center and an optional mass will be offered at 9:00am. If you don't plan on coming to mass you can meet us at 9:30am for some donuts and coffee!Must the experience of poetry only be beautiful? Or is there something redemptive in a poetry that seeks to capture our limits, suffering, human faltering, and even death? In T.S. Eliot's master interwar poem, The Wasteland, the courage to face human wounds can be redemptive. We’ll also read Fr. Julian Carron's essay on the potential redemption of all reality, even suffering, by God.All Nova Forum Seminars are free and open to the public.

About Nova ForumNova Forum provides students with programs for intellectual formation in Catholic thought, connecting the spiritual life with the life of the mind. Our seminars, workshops, lectures, and symposia offer learning experiences that draw on the Catholic past to speak to topics of contemporary concern in ways that supplement the university. Nova in Latin names the “new things” promised in the Scriptures and reflected in Catholic humanistic disciplines, including theology, philosophy, history, literature, politics, and the arts. Nova Forum also shares Catholic intellectual traditions with the secular academy. As contemporary universities struggle to connect teaching and research, ethics and the marketplace, culture and the common good, Catholic thought offers new resources and new perspectives. While located at USC, Nova Forum engages other institutions across southern California, starting with a founding partnership with Pepperdine University. We welcome the participation of colleges and universities throughout the region as well as Catholic communities in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.Learn more about us.
