Zen Luminaries Series with Jon Joseph Roshi

About

Special Guest Poet Naomi Shihab Nye

in conversation with Jon Joseph

& co-host Allison Atwill

Monday, June 27th, 2022

6:00 – 7:30 pm PDT

Naomi Shihab Nye is one of the few poets whose work can stand up to being read aloud during a Zen retreat.
Her writing has a special and generous quality, a feel for our joys and troubles.

Great poetry has always been part of the Dharma path and to be immersed in Naomi’s work is a spiritual event—refuge and sanctuary in the times we have.

On Monday night, Naomi will be with Jon Joseph and Naomi’s friend Allison Atwill. The idea is that Naomi will read her poetry and tell the stories behind the poems. Her poems and stories are magical.

See you then. —John Tarrant
