Poetry bookgroups…

Other SPL bookgroups

Three bookgroups and a special study series to choose from…

Round Table

This informal, friendly evening gives you the freedom to choose for yourselves what poetry you'll read. With as many different approaches and passions as there are readers round the table, discussions truly take off.

Led by group members.

 

Where: Scottish Poetry Library, Edinburgh.

Dates: Mondays 20 October, 17 November, 15 December

Time: 6 - 8pm

Cost: Free (voluntary £1 donation for tea/biscuits)

Nothing But The Poem

Renew your love of poetry with this fresh approach to shared reading. In these relaxed discussions you won't need any background knowledge, or advance reading; you'll simply come fresh to the text of single poems, take the time to read deeply and let new discoveries emerge - without the pressure of reviews, criticism and hype. This is based on the 'Shared Inquiry' method of facilitating discussions.

Facilitated by SPL staff.

 

Where: Scottish Poetry Library, Edinburgh

Dates: Twice a month - come to as many or as few sessions as you want.

  • Mondays 29 September, 27 October, 24 November
  • Tuesdays 21 October, 18 November, 16 December
Time: 6.30-8pm

Cost: £5 (£3 Concessions/SPL Friends). Donations towards the cost of wine are very welcome!

Just a Look At... Edwin Morgan

Be among the first to delve into material in the Edwin Morgan Archive, newly acquired by the SPL – pamphlets, postcards, books and booklets, including some unique items – all detailing the career of Scotland's greatest living poet. Whether you're already a fan or are coming fresh to his work, you'll make discoveries, from well-known poems cast in a new light to unearthing some lesser-known work. Supported by the National Lottery through the Heritage Lottery fund.

Led by Ken Cockburn, EMA Project Co-ordinator.
