Old Poems Made New: An Evening of Biblical Poetry and Song

This fall, Princeton Seminary’s art@ptsem committee is hosting, “Old Poems Made New: An Evening of Biblical Poetry and Song,” in partnership with the University of Pennsylvania’s Herbert D. Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies.

Held on the patio of The Farminary, the seminary’s 21-acre sustainable farm, we are excited to present a curated evening of poetry, music, and celebration of the arts. Exploring the theme of the Bible and its aesthetic legacies, featured guests include:

• Christian Wiman, poet, translator, editor, essayist
• Jessica Jacobs, poet
• Nathan Salsburg, guitarist and composer

Together, we’ll look at how the ancient texts of the Bible—itself made up of so much poetry—are a source of poetic and scholarly inspiration for thinkers and creatives, especially those in Christian and Jewish traditions, across time.

Free and open to the public, the program will include reception, live music, poetry reading, and a discussion between the artists. The event is free, but advanced registration is required.

Hosted in partnership with the Herbet D. Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of Pennsylvania.
