Join us at this week's meeting of the Philosophy Club virtually or in-person (Auerbach 320) this Wednesday, Dec. 10 from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. as local poet James Finnegan will be presenting a set of poems that address philosophy and its various concerns. Some of the poems will be his own and other poems will be by poets with philosophical intentions. Along the way, he will punctuate his presentation with quotes by philosophers and poets that illustrate some of the connections and disjunctions between poetry and philosophy.
James Finnegan has published poems in Ploughshares, Poetry Northwest, The Southern Review, The Virginia Quarterly Review, as well as in the anthologies: Good Poems: American Places edited by Garrison Keillor; Laureates of Connecticut; Shadows of Unfinished Things; Waking Up to the Earth; and Of Hartford in Many Lights. He posts aphoristic ars poetica on this blog.
Join the meeting virtually here.

An ongoing weekly tradition at the University since 2001, the University of Hartford Philosophy Club is a place where students, professors, and people from the community at large meet as peers. Sometimes presentations are given, followed by discussion. Other times, topics are hashed out by the whole group.
Presenters may be students, professors, or people from the community. Anyone can offer to present a topic. The mode of presentation may be as formal or informal as the presenter chooses.
