Join us to celebrate Scott Cairns’s new poetry collection, Against Certainty, with a musical prelude, reading, Q&A, and refreshments.
Does writing poetry—or offering prayer—first necessitate total understanding? Scott Cairns doesn’t believe so. A mentor to dozens of poets throughout his years as a creative writing professor and director of the Seattle Pacific MFA program, in addition to an Orthodox Christian and spiritual writer, Cairns sees his work differently: “the results of my writing to see what I didn’t know to see, to say what I didn’t know to say.”
With a prelude from harpist Riko Matsuoka. Q&A, book signing, and light refreshments to follow.
