In collaboration with Book Club Bunch we are excited to announce our next poetry pop up! Join us as we delve into literary works and enjoy masterpieces read out loud by amazing actors!
In celebration of the Earth Day, our April event will focus on Environment and Nature. We will cover the following poems:
- Voices of Earth – Archibald Lampman
- Remember – Joy Harjo
- Of Many Worlds in this World – Margaret Cavendish
- Death of a Naturalist – Seamus Heaney
- In Praise of Creation – Elizabeth Jennings
- Earth, My Likeness – Walt Whitman
Unlike other book clubs that expect participants to read in advance and prepare for the conversation, we welcome anyone to join the meeting without any preparation. You just have to be there and enjoy the finest works of poetry, read aloud by professional actors and English literature scholars. We will also allow sufficient time to discuss every poem in a group and reflect on how the ideas and emotions are emphasised by the power of language.
We are sorry! This event has ended. You can book your place at one of our upcoming events:
