Poetry Club is here with hopes to increase the understanding and appreciation of poetry and promote the discussion of poetry in your neighborhood and around the world.

HISTORY: It started when the three of us took Ron’s “Introduction to Poetry” class at a local community college. We enjoyed it so much we asked Ron if he would like to continue the discussion in a casual atmosphere. On October 31, 2015, we met for coffee at a local cafe, and we’ve been meeting every month since. Soon, the news got around and we started to grow to about 8-10 people. Then, we got organized. The first hour is the discussion of a published poet, in the second hour we share our own poetry for a group critique. Whether you’re a writer or admirer of poetry, or simply want to learn more about it, you’ll love these feel-good conversations.

Poetry Club discusses classical and contemporary poetry. Members take turn hosting discussions on the work of a different poet each week. Our perspectives are pedestrian, collegiate, and everything in between. Currently, we are about 6-8 people who meet every Saturday online; a retired professor, a retired librarian, some poets, a writer, and a guy who just loves poetry, all fans of the written word.
Grab a cup of coffee or tea and join us!

Thank you for listening, participating, and exploring poetry with us.
