Calling all poets\, poets-to-be\, contemporaries &\; contemplatives\, and admirers of the written word. Join us for a new poetry writing group that will meet (generally) on the second and fourth Monday of each month at 5:30 PM in the Library'\;s Ames Room. Each meeting we will explore a new poem to read deeply together and parse out its images\, references\, poetic devices\, and possible meanings to cultivate a deeper appreciation for poetry. Then we will take the opportunity to generate our own writing in response to a prompt rooted in the poem we just read. Your responses do not need to be in meter or rhyme (or even have line breaks!) and sharing what you'\;ve written is not required. You are welcome to simply come listen and enjoy the musicality of language as well. \;
