What Matters: Giving Voice to Importance and Meaning with Seretta Martin

"Thus the man who is responsive to artistic stimuli reacts to the reality of dreams as does the philosopher to the reality of existence: He observes closely, and he enjoys his observations; for it is out of these images that he interprets life, out of these processes that he trains himself for life." —Friedrich Nietzsche, "Twilight of the Idols"

What is the importance of being human? I’m sure there will be many answers extolling the virtues of our greatness with human creativity, intelligence, naming inventions, cures for diseases, our love and compassion, etc. Are we also important because we self-reflect, we think about ourselves, and we think about others? We also know we are going to die. Yet, people still function every day like they are immortal and that itself could be looked upon as heroic. What matters? This workshop is an exploration of poetry (of others and ours) stimulated by these thoughts. We will read, write, philosophize, and write some more.
