NFHC October 1995 Campus Feature By Heidi Aronson '96

Short visits have lasting effect

F he Rev. Dr. I. John Hesselink of the Western Theological Seminary faculty carries a mug with this

Joseph Brodsky quote etched into it:

"Poetry is not 'the best words in the best order; For language, it is the highest form of existence.'" His reason for choosing the mug stemmed, not surprisingly,from a love of literature — specifically, poetry. Which might not seem too remarkable if it weren't for one thing: this love of poetry has been fostered, in part, by a Hope College program. For years, the Hope College Visiting Writers Series has transfixed him, so that now he attends readings haying already studied the works of the writers he has heard are coming. Indeed, Dr. Hesselink, who is the Albertus C. Van Raalte Professor of SystematicTheology at the seminary and president of the RCA's General Synod, connects his own theology with the poetry in ways he never thought could be so beneficialor stimulating.

Dr. Hesselink is not the only dedicatedfan of the series. Since its creation in 1986, attendance has grown from fewer than 75 to more than 350.

Anyone who knows the literary world and its tendency toward anonymity will attest that this sort of turnout is phenomenal, and gratifying.Writers who have read at Hope have remarked to one another that the crowd itself was a surprise — since readings at even Stanford or Berkeley will only draw half the audience. The Visiting Writers Series gives members of the Hope and Holland communitiesan opportunityto interact with— The program was the brainchild of English Professor and learn from— respected authors like Lee Smith, who read with Michael Chitwood on Thursday, Sept. 21.
