Celebrate National Poetry Month with an interactive conversation about how to read and enjoy poetry. What does a poem mean to you? Let’s find out together. Some poems affect us deeply, almost irrationally. We experience them in ways that escape intellectual explanation — a line catches in the throat, an image surfaces something long buried, a few words rearrange the furniture of our inner life. We don't always know why. Join poet Dave Caserio and writer Danell Jones for the second event in our National Poetry Month series. Dave and Danell will guide the group through a discussion of two poems. This isn't a workshop where you have to write or perform — it's a conversation, warm and unhurried.
