"Tea and Tattered Pages" brings a little bit of magic and delight into our lives by offering a variety of activities centered around poetry, such as:

  • Out loud poetry readings, either yours or someone else's
  • Talks on genres or schools of poetry by subject matter experts
  • Poetry writing workshops (including haiku) led by notable poets
  • Analyses and discussions of poems such as "The Waste Land, "The Prelude," "Howl," or selected sections of Ezra Pound's "The Cantos." 
  • Translation comparisons of notable poems
  • Paris metro poetry discussions
  • Analyses and discussion of "100 Poems Everyone Should Know" lists
  • Discussions about the lives of influential poets
  • Visits to the graves of poets in Paris cemeteries


And more . . . your imagination and desires are the limits!

And we are delighted to have poet and teacher Heather Hartley, author of "Knock Knock" and "Adult Swim", as our Poet-in-Residence. Heather will be joining us as both guide and participant in this delightful journey.

The group normally meets on the 1st Saturday of each month from 15:00 - 18:00.
