Poetry Discussion Group
Join us on Saturday 7 September for the monthly Poetry Discussion Group, 12-2 p.m. at Brooks Memorial Library, Brattleboro. For Septemberwe are reading the poems of U.S. Poet Laureate Joy Harjo. From the Poetry Foundation: "Harjo draws on First Nation storytelling and histories, as well as feminist and social justice poetic traditions, and frequently incorporates indigenous myths, symbols, and values into her writing. Her poetry inhabits landscapes—the Southwest, Southeast, but also Alaska and Hawaii—and centers around the need for remembrance and transcendence." Copies of the poems are provided. Admission is free, and the discussion is open to all; no experience or preparation necessary. These casual discussions are a great way to increase your knowledge of and appreciation for poetry.
