Poetry on the Lawn

Please join us for the inaugural and special Summer 2025 edition of our Cathedral-sponsored Wednesday Spirituality Series: Poetry on the Lawn!

Twice a month this summer – in June, July & August – we’ll be gathering on the Cathedral lawn on alternating Wednesdays from 3-4:30pm to discuss words of wisdom of wonderful poets.

* Here’s the tentative lineup:

JUNE belongs to two Celtic soul-friends:
• 11 June: David Whyte
• 25 June: John O’Donohue

JULY belongs to two writers-in-residence from opposite sides of this continent:
• 9 July: Luci Shaw
• 23 July: Marie Howe

And AUGUST belongs, very simply, to two greats:
• 6 August (Transfiguration of the Lord): Gerard Manley Hopkins
• 20 August: Mary Oliver

Please feel free to drop in for any or all of these sessions.
No advance RSVP required – but appreciated!
No advance reading required – but encouraged!
Just show up – ready to enjoy some excellent poetry together!

We’ll plan to gather at the picnic tables on the Cathedral Lawn, and to meet inside the Cathedral itself in the event of inclement weather.

Any questions or expression of interest can be communicated to:
