We are a friendly group of people who love reading. We aim to encourage an appreciation of Literature but you don’t need any experience of Literature, just curiosity and an enjoyment of reading.
We have monthly meetings from September to May where different topics are discussed each month, as well as a monthly ‘I Have Been Reading’ online group meeting and also a programme of poetry reading.
Our next meeting:
13th March 2025
WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS: Maya Angelou’s memoirs and poetry.
Presented by: Pat Vokes & Angela Wade.
Maya Angelou, a renowned American poet, memoirist, and civil rights activist, produced a significant body of work that explores themes of identity, trauma, resilience, and liberation. Her work includes both autobiographical novels as well as poetry, which have made a profound impact on literature, particularly in the context of African American experiences.
