April 2021 Philly Loves Poetry Interview and Reading Series: The Spiritual in Poetry with Leonard Gontarek – In many ways, writing poems and the reading of poems are spiritual acts. The poem resembles a prayer. It can be an invocation or a plea. Its origin is a sacred memory and its source, an illumination. Leonard Gontarek will discuss this through examples of his own poetry, in conversation with Charles Carr.
