The Weakness of God project

 I took this incredible poetry workshop in Feb/ Mar 2021 organized by Iowa City Poetry. Micky provided prompts and strategies all designed to get participants thinking of their poems in terms of a project.  Fast-forward to this morning when I started contemplating a project composed of a series of poems inspired by the book The Weakness of God: A Theology of the Event by John Caputo.  The poems would address the Weak One (see previous post for example).  This God would hear the prayer/poem but would not wish-fulfill it.  Rather, the poem would be the site of a small "e" event encountering the Event.  The small "e" would be transformed in a weak way by that interaction.

The idea excites me, and I'm putting the intention out there to inspire follow through.
