This group is designed to bring together lovers of Poetry. Whether you're a reader or a writer, a teacher or a translator, all Poetry enthusiasts are welcome. If Poetry touches your life, this group will have something for you. From the dark depths of Baudelaire and Blake, to the enlightened wisdom of Rumi and Hafiz; from the rosy romance of Rossetti and Shakespeare to the more contemporary texts of Elizabeth Alexander and Mary Oliver…we’re open to covering a wide space and see where the group develops in time.
If poetry writing is something you're interested in, please visit the Minneapolis Poetry Writers Meetup page for more about writing: http://www.meetup.com/The-Minneapolis-Poetry-Writers-Meet...

For the Minneapolis Poetry November Meetup, we will spend the beginning of the meetup looking at just how to go about reading a poem. There's no right or wrong way to read a poem, as we've experienced through the many varied and winding and interweaving layers that have come from the same poem in our discussions. Read more
