STEPHEN T BERG - THE CONTEMPLATIVE WRITER

STEPHEN T. BERG

Stephen lives in Edmonton and recently retired from a long career at Hope Mission.  He has read his poetry and staged performances of his words in several venues since 2005.  His blog, Grow Mercy is popular and he has had works published in several publications including Prairie Messenger and the Edmonton Journal Religion page.  He has dedicated his life to faith and helping others, and he strives continually to inhabit the gospel of peace, light and love.

 

THE CONTEMPLATIVE WRITER

The path of the contemplative writer and the seeds of poetry  Stephen will unfold the evolution of contemplative writing, its aims and dispossessions (non-aims), its potential for observational discovery and self-discovery, and so, its forms and formats; secondarily, its inevitable link to the poetic, whether in prose or formal poetry.
