Poets’ Forum Schedule 2010-11

The North Shore Poets’ Forum meets (usually) on the third Saturday of each month at the Beverly Public Library from 11 a.m. to about 2 p.m. There are exceptions, for instance, when the date would interfere with holidays or meetings of the Massachusetts State Poetry Society, of which the forum is now a chapter.

The December meeting is a joint meeting of the two organizations, held at the library on the first Saturday of December.

We’ll let you know if there are changes to the schedule and what our topics will be after our first meeting on Sept. 18. So, this is tentative for now.

The forum, like the MSPS, hopes to encourage members to learn more about the art and craft of poetry by studying well-regarded poets, introducing new forms, and delving into what makes and inspires a poem.

In that spirit, we ask that you please bring a favorite poet’s poems to introduce to the group on Sept. 18, and please think about a topic you might like to explore further and bring to the group during the coming months.

This promises to be a busy meeting, since we have to go over the schedule. But, if we have time, we’ll have gentle critique of member poems, so bring one or two just in case.
