Poetry Appreciation

PictureAnnie Freud reads her poems to the group.



​

Poetry appreciation involves recognising and appreciating in a positive way the skill that went into crafting it. There are no right answers when you respond to a poem, and very few wrong ones, and one person’s opinion is just as valid as another’s.  We read and discuss the poems as a group (which is frequently easier than as an individual).

We meet monthly on the third Thursday of each month between 1pm and  2.45pm, at the Holy Trinity Parish Centre (downstairs).

If you’d like to join us, get in touch!
