Sandy reports: We had 8 people but only managed to get through 7 of the poems as there was a lot of interesting discussion.
Tim read 'Rhapsody on a Windy Night' (Eliot) which generated a lot of discussion. It's such a dark, atmospheric poem and was just right for such a dreary day. We all read Vicky's choice 'The Raven' (Poe) as it was quite long but once again very appropriate. Lawrence read 'Sweeney Among the Nightingales' (Eliot) which sparked much discussion too; although most of us liked it we still didn't understand it too well! Keely, the new lady, came and joined in a lot which was great. She brought 'Begin' (Brendan Kennelly) which was a nice contrast amongst all the doom and gloom.
'The Raven' and 'Rhapsody on a Windy Night' were particularly appropriate after halloween and for such a dismal, grey day.
Next meeting: 6th Dec. The topic is Parodies.

It's nice to see this blog up and running at last. I can sneak in and look at what people are reading and think "Oh, maybe I'll have a look at that." Do you know if people are looking at it?
