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.
