Group email: Poetry Appreciation group
When: On Mondays 11:00am
Twice a month
Venue: A pub in Canonbury

Our meetings are informal and friendly. We start at 11.00am with coffee/tea and discuss future themes and other matters of interest to the group. From 11.15am we move to reading and talking about our chosen poems, ending at 12.30pm. Each member of the group reads their poem on the agreed theme, followed by a group discussion. We agree a new theme each month and so we have time to discuss four or five poems at each meeting. We have discussed a wide range of poems from the sixteenth century to contemporary poems. No specialist knowledge is required, just an interest in sharing enjoyment of poetry.
