1. POETRY IN MOTION

A group for anyone who either already enjoys reading poetry or would like to explore it as a new interest. We are not 'academic' in any way but focus on a personal response and on trying to widen our own reading by sharing each other's discoveries. We usually bring a selection of poems on an agreed theme to the meetings, read them together and talk about them, but new members are welcome to come along initially without doing any preparation.

We try to meet the third Tuesday of the month at 2.30pm in members' houses.

Please contact Jill Tait by email if you would like to find out more.

Under tower and balcony,
By garden-wall and gallery,
A gleaming shape she floated by,
Dead-pale between the houses high,
Silent into Camelot.
Out upon the wharfs they came,
Knight and burgher, lord and dame,
And round the prow they read her name,
The Lady of Shalott.
