About this Event

The Poetry Club is a revival of a club which was set up by a group of artists in St Just Library in 2018. Each session is led by an artist, who brings a poem of their choosing to share with the group for discussion for the first 40 minutes. In the second half of the session, group participants are invited to share their own recent writing for informal feedback.
(It is not expected that everybody will have writing to share.)

There will be six sessions, running from 15 Jan until 30 Apr, taking place in The studio at Newlyn Art Gallery, which looks out to sea. You can come to as many of the sessions as you like, but each one will need to be booked.
