Library Workshop: Reading Poetry
Reading poetry can seem like a daunting exercise, but it doesn’t have to be!
Join us at for “Metre, Metaphor, and Meaning,” Part II of our introduction to the pleasures of reading poetry. In this workshop, we’ll continue to explore poems by Canadian poets in search of an answer to two simple questions: What are poems made of and what can they do?
The aim of this workshop is to give you the tools and vocabulary with which to discuss, think about, and, above all, appreciate poetry.
You can attend the workshop in-person or online. Please email library@morrin.org to learn more or to sign up!
We will be discussing the following poems (we suggest reading them prior to the workshop):
- “Chinatown” by Bruce Meyer
- “Sometimes I want a corset like” by Lisa Robertson
- “After Rain” by P.K. Page
