Dear Friends,

Last year we began what I hope will be a new tradition in our North American Section for the Literary Arts & Humanities: we celebrated All Souls with readings of original poetry by Section Poets. Our meeting last year originated from Dornach, which I was visiting at that time to give two lectures on the poet Novalis.

I did not make a recording of the meeting last year, although last year I did ask poet Wilbert Lambrecht from Belgium to record his poem for peace “World War 1917” after the event. 

This year, I asked permission of the Section poets to make a recording, and most of them agreed. Here are the recordings from the evening from those poets who gave permission to post their readings.
