The Southend Poetry
Group
|
meets at
8.00pm on the first Wednesday of each month at the Naval and Military Club,
20 Royal Terrace, Southend-on-Sea, Essex. SS1 1DU map
(note this
is a members club, so you will need to ring the bell to be
let in)
Note: Due to the
current situation with Corona Virus we've decided to stop
Southend Poetry Group meetings until further notice. Look out
for updates here or on our Facebook group.
Meetings usually take the form of a presentation and discussion
of a poet or topic, followed, if time allows, by a brief
workshop session when members can read their own work.
Activities include joint meetings with other Poetry or Writers'
Groups, occasional public readings, and publication of the
annual "Southend Poetry" anthologies.
There is no formal membership - anyone is welcome to the
meetings - and the first time is free!
Some of us write poetry ourselves, some have published or
broadcast, some have performed at readings in various parts of
the country, and some come along simply to read and appreciate
the poetry under discussion.
Whatever your interest or talent, we'll be glad to see you with
us.
