Poetry Appreciation

The general idea for the group meetings is that they will cover Poetry Appreciation across different genres and different eras.
No specific previous knowledge is needed.
The topic for each meeting will be decided in advance, according to members' preferences and interests, and members will contribute according to their own reading about the topic.

Meetings are in Wilton - the one with the Windmill, not Salisbury.
