SUMMARY:Poetry Circle (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Join Our Monthly Online Poetry Circle \nLove poetry? Bring a favorite poem (or two) to share with fellow poetry lovers—no expertise required! \nEach month\, we gather online to read poems aloud\, listen attentively\, and explore what moves us—a single word\, a striking image\, or the overall feeling of the piece. You’re welcome to share a few sentences about the poet\, too. \nWant to share a poem?\nPlease send it to Elinore at elinore.nysec@gmail.com by the evening of the previous Sunday. She’ll share it on-screen so we can read it together during the session. \nNot sure if it’s for you? You’re welcome to join as an observer to see what it’s like. \n“Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder\, \nwith a dash of the dictionary.”\n–Khalil Gibran \nJoin Online\nClick to join at start time
