Come and experience the fun of poetry at Lee Memorial's poetry discussion group. We normally meet on the second Tuesday of each month at 7:00 PM, September through May. Join with other poetry lovers, reading and interpreting the best and brightest in poetry. Selections are taken from the work of established poets.
Next Meeting -- December 8th
Poet Lisel Mueller was born in Hamburg, Germany, in 1924. She and her family fled Nazi persecution, arriving in the US in 1939. Her serious writing of poetry began in 1953, after the death of her mother. Join "Circle of Voices" on December 9th at 7:00 PM, when we explore the fascinating and edgy poems of Lisel Mueller.
The poems we will discuss are Monet Refuses the Operation and Blood Oranges.
