you are cordially invited to join us for an outdoor poetry salon

An Affirming Flame

Saturday, March 26 at 3:00 PM

at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Sebastopol





Defenseless under the night
Our world in stupor lies;
Yet, dotted everywhere,
Ironic points of light
Flash out wherever the Just
Exchange their messages:
May I, composed like them
Of Eros and of dust,
Beleaguered by the same
Negation and despair,
Show an affirming flame.

	- W. H. Auden 
	(Excerpt from his longer poem "September 1, 1939")
