From 1969-2000 Nick Lindsay served as writer-in-residence in the English Department at Goshen College, where he taught many of poets associated with the recent flourishing of contemporary Mennonite literature. This essay by a former student considers institutional history and interviews with Lindsay's proteges and former colleagues in an effort to trace the contours of Lindsay's aesthetic and theological influence. Lindsay's poem A Song of Opposites provides conceptual scaffolding for an aneedotal consideration of Lindsay's relationship with the community at Goshen a relationship that is described as analogous to the relationship constructed by metaphor, a joining wherein difference is as important as resemblance, and proximity reveals new insight into both elements. Of special concern are Lindsay's beliefs about work, academic achievement, poetics, peace and violence, and Christian faith.
