Poetry

“I too, dislike it: there are things that are important beyond all this fiddle. 
      Reading it, however, with a perfect contempt for it, one discovers that there is in 
      it after all, a place for the genuine.” 

Marianne Moore, ‘Poetry’ 

 

Welcome to Poet Soc! We are a group of enthusiastic poets of varying skill levels, and we would love for you to join us for the coming year.

Once a term we are hosting a poetry Open Mic, where you can go up on stage and perform a 5-minute original poem in a judgement free, safe space. We are aiming to make these events really cosy and inviting as we know the idea of sharing your own poetry can be super scary! There is no requirement to speak at these events, in fact we will only have time for around 20 speakers. Come and enjoy some poetry, snacks and a lovely atmosphere.

We are also hosting regular workshops where members will get together with a small group of fellow poets and discuss the merits of your poems and possible new directions to be explored. We know this can also be scary as poetry is an incredibly personal medium, but don’t worry if you are still finding your feet - There will be no judgement, just tips and ideas as to where to take your poems.

 

Whether you are a published poet or a complete beginner who wants to try it out, this society aims to provide a warm welcoming environment to enjoy this beautiful art form we all love.
