Poetry Appreciation
The Poetry Appreciation group comes together fortnightly to read, enjoy and discuss poems. We are open to everyone, from keen poetry readers to beginners who would like to learn more about the art. We are very flexible in structure, with participants free to contribute as much or as little as they like. We attempt avoiding having deep academic discussions! We look at poems from different eras and at the ways poets use words, rhymes, rhythms, and other techniques to express and communicate their ideas. If necessary, we will explore the historical context for the work, but only if it is of assistance in understanding what the poet was trying to achieve.
So, if you already know or have wanted to find out what the fuss is all about for names such as Blake, Eliot, Larkin, Shelley, Auden, Rossetti, Browning, Duffy, Armitage, etc, come along and discover the possibilities of language and different ways to interpret aspects of life.
The group will meet again on 15th Dec 2023. In 2024 the group will meet on the 2nd and 4th Friday of the month. All meetings will be in St George’s Church Hall. The cost is £2.00 to cover the cost of room.
