PORTRAITS OF PATHOLOGY, a lecture by James Hollis

Lecture

By witnessing the struggles of others, we gain pointers, insights, even strategies to address our own difficulties. Tonight we will examine three reports from the trenches, the never-ending wins and losses in the battle to survive, even make sense of one’s life.

We will visit T. S. Eliot’s “J. Alfred Prufrock,” Jon Stallworthy’s “Letter from Berlin,” and Sharon Olds’ “I Go Back to May, 1937,” and learn from them what we can.
