Food, Nature, and the Creative Life — Poetry Reading & Conversation

Join Aimee Nezhukumatathil for an evening of poetry and reflection at the Farminary at Princeton Theological Seminary, where the rhythms of land and language meet. Drawing from her bestselling work Bite by Bite and newest poetry collection, Night Owl, Nezhukumatathil will read poems that celebrate the sensory, surprising, and sustaining connections between food, nature, and memory. In this open-air setting—alive with crops, birdsong, and the turning season—the creative life is not abstract but embodied and shared. A Q&A and book signing will follow.

About the Farminary:

The Farminary is a place where theological education is integrated with small-scale regenerative agriculture to train faith leaders who are conversant in the areas of ecology, sustainability, and food justice. It is designed to train students to challenge society’s 24–7 culture of productivity by following a different rhythm, one that is governed by the seasons and Sabbath. “The project’s main goal is to form leaders by cultivating ecological and agricultural sensibilities within them like paying attention to the seasons, understanding the interconnectedness of life and death, and becoming comfortable with failure,” says Nate Stucky, director of the Farminary Project.
