Tea and Tattered Pages: Adventures in Poetry
“Poetry is the journal of the sea animal living on land, wanting to fly in the air.” -Carl Sandburg
Program Description:
Tea and Tattered Pages is a multi-faceted program designed to bring poetry closer to the fore in our lives, and perhaps create a small community around it. Our activities include reading, writing, discussing, reciting, and trying to
live poetry.
There will be no fixed agenda for events; rather, forthcoming events will usually be decided by vote as we move through the year, and published as things are decided. You can get a sense of what sorts of activities we will be doing on the program's web page:
