Poetry Reading

Welcome to the poetry reading group

Coordinator: Linda Goulden

email: poetryreading@newmillsu3a.org.uk

Meetings: Monthly - 3rd Thursday morning
10 am - 12 noon at a member's house

Each month we choose a poet or theme and each member selects a poem or poems for the group to read and discuss

Lively discussions usually follow which often give us ideas for the following month

New members would be welcome

17 November 2011 "Poems in Translation"

15 December 2011 'Danger'

19 January 2012

16 February 2012

The next meeting of 2012 is at 10:00 on Thursday 16th of February.
 
Rather than choosing a theme or author, we are beginning this year by reading poems all taken from the anthology with commentary: '52 Ways of Looking at a Poem' by Ruth Padel. This is a very varied anthology of modern poetry which was originally published as weekly articles in the Independent on Sunday in 1999 and a copy is available through the library service.
 
Possible new members for the New Mills U3A Poetry Readers' Group are welcome to contact Linda Goulden on 01663 732489
