In this episode of I Thought You'd Like to Know, Dr. Lawrence Hopperton participates in a Poetry Reading at Tyndale University - Table for Three and Such Common Stories (February 13, 2023)

Table for Three: New and Selected Poems, 1982-2021

These poems, written over forty years, illustrate a spiritual landscape evolved from both secular and profane perspectives, from church windows to a handful of dirt, love and grief to redemption at the edges of our world. They invite readers into an engagement with the world – an engagement both thoroughly spiritual and sensuous. Personal experiences and associations become anchorage on this journey with the spirit of God (Spiritus Dei) and the spirit of creation (Spiritus Mundi).

Such Common Stories

There is one story only. It’s woven out of personal experiences and memories, the worlds that we have actually known and loved. The poems in Such Common Stories connect to our individual stories, so that the experiences they present become our own and we become the storytellers of our own multifaceted lives.
