Robert Bringhurst will be talking at Seattle University on Friday, November 15, 2024, in Sinegal 100/110 at 4pm. Robert has been part of at least two Cascadia Poetry Festivals, 2015 in Nanaimo and 2023 in Seattle and I interviewed him for the Cascadian Prophets podcast in 2023. Click here for that.

For his Nov 15 talk, CPL board member, Philosophy Department Chair and Soto Zen priest Jason Wirth will be your guide and he tells me the details are:

The Ground Would See Me:  Opening Doors to Native American Thinking

Robert Bringhurst is one of Canada’s most revered poets, a celebrated typographer and book designer, a significant philosopher and cultural critic, and a renowned linguist whose long engagement with Indigenous American texts includes the now classic Story as Sharp as a Knife, the first volume of the trilogy, Masterworks of the Classical Haida. He will speak on the importance of Indigenous thought, orature, and literature for Philosophy and for the Humanities more broadly.
