The First Meeting

We had our first meeting of the Thursday Poetry Reading Group this afternoon. During a very relaxed but thoughtful session we read an discussed Roger McGough’s ‘A Fair Day’s Fiddle’, Derek Walcott’s ‘Love after Love’, Seamus Heaney’s ‘Clearances 3’ Mary Oliver’s ‘The Journey’, Patrick Hadley’s ‘My Beloved Spake’, W.B. Yeats’s ‘The Coat’, and with a little time to spare, ‘another poem by Mary Oliver ‘Wild Geese.’
For our June meeting we will again be bringing favourite poems, and we will organise photocopies.
