Poetry is for Everyone: August Book Club Meeting

We get it: it can be daunting to dip your toes into poetry. You may not be sure where to start. That’s why H&H Books started a new book club: Poetry is for Everyone.

Our next meeting is Sunday, August 17 at 2 PM at Valerio Coffee Roasters (2331 Frankford Avenue). We’ll discuss Open Source by Warren C. Longmire—and Warren himself will join us for our discussion! Warren is from North Philadelphia, and Open Source is published by Radiator Press, a Philly-based poetry publisher. You can read more about Open Source and Warren’s background on H&H’s website.

Participants are highly encouraged to read the book before the meeting in order to participate fully. H&H staffer Kristen will ask questions & facilitate discussion, and participants will share their thoughts and impressions of the month’s selection. There’ll be a brief writing exercise, too, so bring a pen or pencil and paper.

Attendance is free, but registration on Eventbrite is recommended.

Copies of Open Source will be available at H&H Books (2230 Frankford Avenue) in the weeks leading up to the book club meeting.

Need further enticement? Book club attendees will receive 10% off drinks at Valerio during our meeting!
