Poetry at SMSA 2021

Regular Event: Next occurring Tuesday, 10 August 2021, 6:00pm

Venue: Meeting Rooms

COVID-19 safety protocols in place with capacity restrictions for onsite meetings at SMSA and virtual meetings when restrictions don’t allow face to face meetings. For current meeting details and/or to join the group, please contact Group Coordinator Peter Rainey (details below).

Come along to our free discussion group for poetry lovers held on the second Tuesday of each month commencing at 6pm. Recite, listen to and discuss poems in an informal, friendly atmosphere. Half of each meeting is dedicated to a theme.

Offers to chair meetings are always welcome. So too are offers to lead discussion on a nominated poem. The only rule is that one can’t read one’s own poems.
