This evening we are pleased to welcome poet and author Christian Wiman, speaking at 7 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall.
Although a young man, Wiman is credited with the growth and development of Poetry magazine during his time as editor. After growing up in a Southern, Christian home, Wiman had sworn off Christianity until the time of his diagnosis with a particularly deadly cancer. His book, My Bright Abyss, chronicles his powerful return to faith during his time of struggle with the disease. It is both deeply personal and theological, and has received positive reviews in the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and other media.
Copies of My Bright Abyss and Wiman's book of poetry, Every Riven Thing, are available in the Bookshop @ St. Stephen's.
