The Courtship of Miles Standish, By Henry Longfellow

Meetings held via ZOOM. We use the Shared Inquiry Method to discuss longstanding pieces of literature, such as this 170 yr old poem about a love triangle among those who first came to America on the Mayflower. What does your Thanksgiving look like compared to theirs? Whether a first time or long time book club attendee, we hope you’ll enjoy the illuminating and entertaining conversations we generate.
There are four guidelines for participating in a Great Books Discussion:

1. Read the work.
2. Discuss the work. Use the text to support your ideas.
3. The leader is not an authority. There are no right/wrong responses.
4. Further the discussion by following-up on the train of thought.
