Poetry Potpourri: Poets of Belfast II

Continuing a popular previous course, this offers an opportunity to hear six Belfast poets reading their work. Also audiences will hear and discuss presentations by two teachers on six topics in poetry:

• What is Poetry? 
• Poetry in Response to Nature
• The Mystery of Poetry
• Poetry as Memory
• The Sociology of Poetry
• Poetry in Response to Love and Death.

Non-poets are welcome as well as poets. Discovery is the theme of a course that we will try to make enjoyable for all.
