This is a new group which has started by discussing the very basics “What is poetry”, the origins of poetry, its relationship with song, rhyme, rhythm, metre, poet laureates, etc.
We agreed a variety of formats for the group:
- each member brings a poem to share with the group, explaining why that poem is meaningful to them and the group offers their responses.
Other meetings could be more structured whereby a member would prepare a topic, eg:
a particular poet,
a particular period in literature,
different types metre in poetry,
hearing/watching poets reading their own poems
“world” poetry, etc.
The group meets on the 4th Thursday of the month, at 2pm. The venue rotates amongst members' houses.
Currently meeting regularly via Zoom.
