The award-winning poet Adrienne Rich has said, “Poetry is the liquid voice that can wear through stone.” These past months have been difficult and stony for many of us, but some have found meaning in the voice of poetry. This hybrid service, facilitated by Fellowship member Pat McCutcheon, is the time to share poems that have helped you make it through.
