Feast of Poems and Food - Online

This photo taken in my garden signals the surging life of spring. Join us next Friday evening for a feast of food and poems. Whatever your experience of this time, and the consequences of the pandemic are impacting us in different and varied ways, come together in community and solidarity over food next Friday. If you would like, please bring a poem to read and share. This could be something you have written or a poem that speaks to you of this time.

David Whyte says this of poetry: "Poetry is an intimate conversation with the wonders and difficulties of the world, a pilgrim path to a place where we are able to combine our fear, our fierceness and our faith to make a life we can call our own — no matter the difficulties that seem to surround us".

The evening is hosted by Avril Loveless, Rita Garner and myself. We will gather at 7.30pm for a welcome, say hello, have a short 5 minute meditation before eating together in smaller groups of around eight people where we can chat, eat and share poems in a smaller group. We'll come back together as a large group for coffee/tea (or other drink of your choice) and maybe hear some more poems before closing our evening. We recommend you plan to have your food ready to serve for 7.45pm.

Sign up here on Meet Up. Numbers are limited so sign up early. The joining link for Zoom will be sent to you once you sign up. Please ensure you have a working camera on your tablet, laptop/desktop or smartphone so we can be together with video and audio view.
