Poetry in a New Age




« back to classes page
ClassGraphic If you are interested in learning about poetry, or are a long-time reader of poetry, this virtual study group is for you. We welcome people discovering poetry for the first time, as well as more experienced poetry lovers. Each week, we read and discuss a selection of contemporary poems chosen by the study group participants. We read aloud the poems giving careful attention in our discussion to the poet’s meaning, style, and content. We are always on the hunt for new poems and poets, but we also revisit poems and poets we have read before just because we like them. Poets we have discussed recently include Joanna Klink, Carl Dennis, Louise Erdrich, Arthur Sze, and Ada Limón. In addition, we will have occasional sessions when study group members share a favorite poem with the group. Join us for an enjoyable and informative member-led study group focusing on what still moves people today about poetry.
