About the Author/Speaker:

David Banach is a philosopher and a poet, though often not in that order. He lives in Goffstown, NH, where he tends chickens, keeps bees, and watches for lessons in the sky. He likes to think about Dostoevsky, Levinas, and Simone Weil and is fascinated by the way form emerges in nature and the way the human heart responds to it. He has published over 70 poems in various journals, and is editor of Touchstone, the journal of the Poetry Society of New Hampshire.

This program is co-sponsored by the Gregory J Grapone Humanities Institute and the Center for Ethics in Society.
