Join Judaic Studies for an evening with former Maine poet Laureate Stuart Kestenbaum. The author of six collections of poems, Kestenbaum has also published and taught widely on the craft of making and creativity. On Feb. 8 he will speak on the Jewish influences on his poetry. Former US poet laureate Ted Kooser has written “Stuart Kestenbaum writes the kind of poems I love to read, heartfelt responses to the privilege of having been given a life. No hidden agendas here, no theories to espouse, nothing but life, pure life, set down with craft and love.”
