This Group starts
on Sep 1st and runs until May 4th 2027. The January meeting will be on 12th January.
Note: New Venue at the Masonic Hall, Ockford Road - plenty of parking.
The theme for September 2026 to May 2027 will be Old and New, contemporary and modern poets and poetry.
We usually learn about two different poets at each monthly meeting. We start with the biography of the first poet, and then each member reads aloud one of the poems from a list chosen beforehand. We discuss and analyse the style, subject and meaning of each poem. After a 5-minute break, we continue with the second poet and their poems. Poets to be studied each year are chosen by the members and a programme for the year is drawn up by me. This year the emphasis will be on more poetry readings and less on the biographies of poets, as requested by the members of the group.
