Poetry Retreat: ‘Who Do You Say That I Am?’

Irish poet John F Deane invited poets to respond to Jesus’ question. This retreat will focus on poetic responses from poets including Seamus Heaney, Wendy Cope, Wendell Berry and John F Deane to: “Who do you say that I am?”. 

The question is addressed to all seekers and searchers, as well as to the disciples in the gospel scene. A selection of these poems, along with appropriate scripture texts, will be offered for reflection and prayer in this retreat. The weekend will comprise short inputs, and plenty of time, space and quiet to sit with the material. This weekend retreat will be facilitated by Eoin Garrett.
