Brookland Poetry

This is a monthly series of poetry readings sponsored by the Brookland Area Writers and Artists (
).
The readings feature a number of readers who have selected poems by various authors on an agreed upon theme.
So, this isn’t your conventional poetry reading with amateur poets reading their work. There’s plenty of those in the city.
These evenings provide a rare opportunity to hear the best poetry has to offer on topics that are intriguing, entertaining and illuminating.
Check out their website for more information about their upcoming readings.
And if you’ve been burned by bad poetry experiences growing up (being forced to listen to poetry and then having to *explain* it rather than just enjoying it for its wordplay and sheer joy) than these readings are for you.
