Lent 2026 VOICES Series
Sunday, February 22: Marion Winik & Naomi Shihab Nye, 7-8 p.m.
I know about a thousand things: letter writing as a spark for creativity
VOICES, the Redeemer Speaker Series, invites contemporary voices to challenge and inform us: they are artists and authors, visionaries and thought leaders, advocates of change courageous enough to hold the loveliness and sorrow of the world at once and find the wonder in both.
Marion Winik is an author, humorist, and critic known for her “unflinching honesty” and emotional depth. Her career spans poetry, memoir, and critical review.
Naomi Shihab Nye is a self-described “wandering poet” whose work draws on her Palestinian American heritage and global travels to emphasize shared humanity. Over a 40-year career, she has authored or edited more than 30 volumes of poetry and fiction.
