  Presence is a community of writers who recognize Catholicism as fertile ground for the flourishing of contemporary poetry. The October conference will consist of a series of panels and workshops that will explore how poetry navigates the intersection of matter and spirit, depicts the struggle between belief and doubt, and engages faith-- precisely by being surprised by it, taking joy in it, and even finding humor in it.

  This In-Person Conference and Workshop will be held from October 27-29, 2023 at Loyola University Chicago's Water Tower Campus. The Keynote Address on 10/28 by Christian Wiman will be available for Zoom attendance, but all other aspects of the conference will be in-person only.
