Devon Abts is Research and Operations Director for the Clemente Course in the Humanities, an organization whose mission is to provide transformative educational experiences, in the form of free college courses, for adults who face economic hardship and adverse circumstances. We speak with Devon about her work for this organization. But our primary conversation will be about Devon’s work as a theologian, and specifically her insights into the poetry of the innovative English Jesuit poet Gerard Manley Hopkins. Hopkins is known for his creative, truly ingenious use of language, and Devon will help us understand how the rhythms of Hopkins’s poetry underscore the tempo of spiritual transformation and reveal the dynamics of God’s grace.
