Join us around the Zoom “table” for a new two-part series on Split at the Root: Adrienne Rich and Jewish Identity. Rich is one of the most influential feminist poets of the 20th century. We will explore selections of her prose and poetry as she grapples with her own Jewish identity. This session will focus on excerpts from her biographical poem Sources. We will also have a chance to explore our own.
Barbara Lesch McCaffry will facilitate these discussions on Fridays January 17th and 31st from 12 noon-1:30 p.m. Handouts will be sent when you register..
