“Urban Pastorals”: Poetry Reading by Clive Wilmer
We are very honored to announce a visit from this wonderful British poet. Now retired from teaching at Cambridge University, Professor Wilmer is the Master of the Guild of St. George, founded by John Ruskin in 1872.
He will be reading from “Urban Pastorals.” This sequence of prose poems about the England of the poet’s childhood
reflects on ideas of paradise and the ideal society. (Master Wilmer is in town to speak and participate in an all-day symposium taking place the following day, Saturday, Sept. 23, in San Francisco. “How We Live and How We Might Live: Ruskin and Morris in Our Time” will take place at the wonderful Swedenborgian Church on Lyon St at Washington. All are welcome. More information…)
