The Poetry 2 Group meet monthly on the 1st Thursday Afternoon in a host's home.

A Theme or a particular Poet is chosen each month and members research their own choice of poems. Individuals then recite the 2 or 3 poems they have chosen at the meeting and we talk about the meanings, the messages, the memories they might provoke, the sentiments, sometimes the politics, the spiritual context if appropriate, etc etc. Our choices of poems range across the whole spectrum from Romantics, to Modern, including Shakespeare and even Chaucer, to Pam Eyres, Roger McGough, local folklore, Limericks, and sometimes personal compositions. It is not academic and we always try to end with laughter or a feelgood poem.

If you are interested in finding out more, or going on the waiting list, please get in touch with the Convenor.
