Come read poetry with us! No experience needed, no purchase necessary. Copies of poems will be distributed to the group and we will do a collective close read looking at various aspects including story, sound, rhythm, syntax, feeling and line. Discover or rediscover modern poetry by Robert Hayden, Ruth Stone, Nick Flynn, Claudia Rankine, Audre Lorde, Marie Howe, Ada Limón, Jericho Brown, Emily Dickinson, Jeremy Michael Clark, Wisława Szymborska and more.

Note, this is not a poetry writing workshop. The goal is to close read together for a deeper appreciation of the poem. For those interested, a writing prompt at the end of each session will be offered.
