This Friday, Eastern University will be hosting the poet Jeanne Murray Walker. Walker will be reading from her recent publication Leaping from the Burning Train: A Poet’s Journey of Faith and discussing the role of faith in her work. This event will be taking place in the Gough Great Room at 3pm.

If you want to familiarize yourself with Walker’s work, we can help! We have a copy of her 2004 poetry collection ‘A Deed To Light’ available as an eBook. Some of her works have been published in different journals. These can be found by searching ‘Walker, Jeanne Murray’ in Eagle Search. You may enjoy Invocation Beside The Ocean or Grasshopper.

If you are looking to pick through some of her work through the years, we can help with that as well. A number of her works are available through the Poetry Foundation. My favorites are Invocation to Convince a Baby Already Twelve Days Overdue to Come out of the Womb and Ariadne, which you can hear read by the poet, or read it yourself.
