The poet Mark Strand said, “Poetry is about slowing down. You sit and you read something, you read it again, and it reveals a little bit more, and things come to light you could never have predicted.” That’s what we find as we meet monthly to read and discuss poetry; usually focusing on work by one or two poets each time. The choice of what poet to read is decided by group consensus. We average 5-10 people at each meeting. New participants are welcome. Meetings:
