Poetry Appreciation

We read and discuss poems by both established poets and members of the group. Each session will be focussed on a specific theme or poet. Those members who enjoy writing poetry are encouraged to share their poems with the group. We are not judgmental but will discuss the poem and give constructive feedback, if this is requested. Group members each present a poem which they have submitted in advance of the meeting so that everyone is then able to read it on their own device. The main aim of the group is to read and enjoy poetry of all kinds and to compare our personal responses in an informal way.
