East Coker Poetry Group
For information about our meetings please contact the group via our website contact form
The Origins of Poetry
This should be an interesting and informative evening.
Penny Sophocleous and William Wallace will be presenting this evening which will be something quite different for the group.
Polynesia: A Journey through Poetry
Peter Tait presents an evening about this huge but little-known part of the world : a vast ocean containing a multitude of islands, peoples and languages.
Poems from the Poet Laureates
Bring a poem written by any of our Poet Laureates. There have been 21 Poet Laureates, starting with John Dryden in 1668 all the way to the present Laureate, Simon Armitage – so there is quite a wide choice to pick from.
The second half of the meeting will be an Open Meeting so for this part of the meeting bring any poem that you feel will interest the group – either one you have written or by any other poet – or even one by a different Poet Laureate.
Or just come and enjoy the poetry.
Please check this website before attending any event, just in case we have to cancel or alter an event at short notice.
We also may have advice on any road closures in the area that could affect members travelling to a meeting.
