About this event
For the first Tuesdays of January, February, March, and April 2022, Pádraig Ó Tuama will host a series of poetry events at Heavenly Rest. Bringing contemporary poets into conversation with questions of language, desire, justice, prayer, and address these in-person and online events will be intimate explorations about how poetry shapes itself to fit the yearnings of the heart.
Drew E. Jackson is a poet who came late to writing poetry, although he would say that his love for the art form began with hip-hop, learning to put words together from Nas’ Illmatic. He writes at the intersection of justice, peace, and contemplation, having a passion to contribute toward a more just and whole world.
Born in Williamstown, NJ, Drew currently calls New York City home. He holds a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Chicago and an M.A. in Theology from Fuller Theological Seminary. While he’s not traversing the world of poetry, Drew spends his time pastoring Hope East Village, a church that he planted in March of 2018. Drew also serves as the President of Pax, an organization focused on promoting the peace of Jesus in the 21st century.
Drew is blessed to share life with his wife Genay, and their twin daughters Zora and Suhaila. https://www.djacksonpoetics.com/
