Teachers Institute: Wallace Stevens' “Sunday Morning”

Saturday, January 25, 2025 at 3:00 PM until 5:00 PMEastern Standard Time UTC -05:00

Join us for a thought-provoking online seminar dedicated to Wallace Stevens' Sunday Morning, a lyrical exploration of spirituality, doubt, and the human search for meaning in the modern world. In this poem, Stevens presents a contemplative woman who, on a quiet Sunday morning, reflects on her place in the universe and the absence of traditional religious beliefs. As she grapples with questions of immortality, beauty, and the role of nature in our lives, Stevens uses vivid imagery and philosophical musings to explore the tension between belief and skepticism, life and death. Our discussion will examine how Stevens’ elegant verse invites readers to reconsider the relationship between faith, the natural world, and the human imagination. This seminar is designed to provide a deep intellectual experience for those interested in poetry, philosophy, and the complexities of the human condition. Whether you’re a long-time reader of Stevens or are engaging with his work for the first time, we invite you to join us for a rich conversation about the themes of transcendence and earthly joy that make Sunday Morning a masterpiece of 20th-century American poetry.
