In the classic lyric moment, seeing + contemplation=insight, and perhaps even some form of truth. In difficult times, however, this formulation can be elusive, and call into question the role of poetry itself. When poetry and poem-making itself can’t reassure or ground us, how do we sustain our calling to write? How do we keep faith? 

Kerri Webster is the author of four poetry collections, most recently Lapis (Wesleyan, 2022). The recipient of a 2024 Poets Laureate Fellowship from the Academy of American Poets and a Whiting Award, she recently served as Writer in Residence for the State of Idaho.
