Our aim is to enjoy the spoken words of poetry old and new which members bring along when we meet. Typically, we each introduce a small number of prepared poems, then read them and invite comment. We move from simply our favourite poems to themes, poets and periods, dependent on interest.

You do not need to be a ‘buff’, a simple pleasure in the spoken word is enough. People tend to come along with their contribution and leave with a rich diversity of word and experience; the nature of communal sharing of language.

Please feel free to contact Alan if you would like to know more about the group. We always give a warm welcome to new members.
