Paris Poetry Circle, an English poetry reading group,held at 65 rue Pascal. 13e.

This is the 30th year of our English poetry reading group.

The next meeting is EXCEPTIONALLY on Wednesday 18 December 2024 (the third Wednesday of the month because of Christmas ). At 6.30 pm.

We usually meet every FOURTH Wednesday OF THE MONTH at 6:30 PM (for 7:00 PM), around biscuits and tea. So the following meetings will be on Wednesday 22 January 2025, 26 February 2025, 26 March 2025 etc.

We read and discuss poems, the best we know or can find.

Our’s is a reading group (as against a writing workshop). At first reading we do not announce who wrote the poem. We want to hear, read and discuss the poem on its own, whoever wrote it (you, your mother, Shakespeare, a Nobel Laureate, or any poet, published or unpublished). Let the poem stand on its own. Later, we say who the author was. And if it is a living author, we write to thank him.
Anything goes, but ideally we want to read sweet, serious poems that take us forward, help us understand. We do not want boring, pretentious or incomprehensible stuff. Five or six people, intelligent conversation (only in English), some fellowship, no showing off… it is a good way to spend an evening in midweek in this dry world. So do come and join us. Please ring or e-mail before to let us know because space is limited. You don’t have to talk or bring poems. All are welcome. There is no charge.

65 rue Pascal, 75013 Paris
