The Treaty of Westphalia

This seminar welcomes all who wish to experience the richness of poetry. All participants are encouraged to share their interpretations. Members take turns presenting programs of poets and poetry of different genres and cultures and leading class discussions of the material. From Afghanistan to China, Europe, and the Americas, we are continually enriched by reading and discussing works that are often new to most of us. Materials are available in the Osher office the week of the class so that members can familiarize themselves with the poems.

Seminar Leader: Candace Gietzen, a native Californian, has had a long love affair with literature, history, and international education. With degrees from both Pomona College and Stanford University, she has lived and studied in England and China. She taught history and Chinese Studies at the Bishop's School in La Jolla.
