SUMMARY:Scarborough Poetry Appreciation Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:Taking place on the second Monday of the month from 1-2.30pm at Scarborough Library\, our Poetry Appreciation Group is a fun\, informal group where we get together\, discover and share the pleasure of looking at classic and modern poetry. We are a reading group and we read poetry borrowed from the libraries or our staff and volunteer’s collections and discuss them. No pressure to read out loud! We’ll look at the poem and decide if we like the poem\, if we understand the poem\, if it even is a poem. No prior experience or love of poetry is required!! \n\n\n\nPoetry allows individuals to explore thoughts and feelings that may be difficult to articulate in conversation. Writing or reading poetry can help people explore emotions such as grief\, anxiety\, depression\, or anger. \n\n\n\nOur poetry groups are for anyone who wants to enjoy the written word and meet up with friendly and welcoming individuals. No charge but donations always welcome towards the ongoing running of the group at https://www.justgiving.com/swrmind
