 * U3A in Appreciation of Classical English Poetry **

Can reading poetry to each other, and then analysing the poems be classed as fun? Definitely, U3A Sapphire Coast poetry appreciation group have a lot of fun, laughing at the many nonsense verses, and entering into serious discussions about other poems.

The course is divided into three periods covering the 18th to 20th centuries. Poems from a diverse range of poets, including Shelley, Wordsworth, Keats, Tennyson, Wilde, Owen, Brooke and Yeats are read and discussed. In 2015 the group will re-visit these poets, and look at Australian and American poets of earlier years.
