Poems evoke feelings, meanings and experiences that are personal in nature. When we share our different responses to poems, we gain a deeper understanding. For each week, two study group members choose a poet and a set of their poems for the class to read ahead of time. The two members give a brief introduction to the poet and lead a discussion of the selected poems.

Reading Materials: We will rely on available free resources such as The Poetry Foundation (www.poetryfoundation.org) and other Internet sites.

Facilitators:  Both facilitators have participated in many Reading Poetry study groups over the years.
