The Poetry of WB Yeats

Today we will read WB Yeats, the Irish poet and mystic who won the Nobel prize in 1923. Yeats' poetry is sublimely beautiful, yet fairly easy to read and understand, which is why I've chosen him for our first meetup. You can bring your own book, or I can send you a PDF of the poems I've selected for the reading. Feel free to suggest any of his poems that you would like to have us read. No advanced preparation is required - just show up and we'll read the poems together.

I will bake a loaf of bread, and provide some other refreshments. You are free to do the same, or bring whatever you want, including just yourself.

Based on past experience, I am going to make a rule that everyone who rsvp's must also contact me on the chat as soon as it is convenient to do so. Of course, you are free to cancel at any time, but not everyone who rsvp's really intends to come, and it makes planning difficult. Guests will be limited to eight people.

Please let me know in the message if you plan to bring anything, and whether you would like to receive the pdf with the poems (in which case you will need to provide your email address). Once I receive your message I will respond with my home address.

Hope to see some of you here!
