Winter 2015 Courses Faith in Verse: Christian Themes in Poetry Instructor: Sarah Jarvis Historically, many lasting literary works have owed a great debt to the faith of the author, who may have written so-called religious verse as a devotional expression of his or her own faith, or as an approved subject matter for a literary form that authorities in the church might have assumed were employed more for other purposes, perhaps less august (e.g. John Donne). Specifically, the literary form of poetry and faith have had a long and fruitful relationship, which may have been relegated to hymn or praise song lyrics in public consciousness. This course explores this rich partnership in historical and modern poetry. Participants will also have the opportunity to explore their own creative and analytical writing techniques. Students will apply their learning to produce and publish an article or literary work each for a revived edition of the Canterbury College Journal. Classes will combine lectures, discussions, directed readings, and writing workshops. Note: this course is open to students of all beliefs and outlooks. Dates: Tuesdays; January 27 March 31 (excluding Tuesday of the March Break). Time: 7:00 p.m. 9:00 p.m. Sarah Jarvis was educated in Ontario and Scotland, and has worked as a secondary school teacher and an instructor at the St. Clair College of Arts and Technology. Sarah brings to her teaching extensive skills in writing and publishing. She is very involved in her faith community, All Saints Anglican Church.
