The Reading Group will meet on 15 November 2020 via Zoom at 1pm. You don’t have to have done any reading in advance as we’ll look at excerpts from a book, or poems, on the day. You can join us here: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87218458073
Diana Bebby, who organises the group, has chosen this topic:
“We will be looking at poetry by Steve Taylor – if you get the Daily Uplift, you’ll have seen this recently.
Steve Taylor is a psychology lecturer. He writes philosophical and spiritual poetry, and he feels that poetry can express mystical, spiritual experiences in a way that everday language cannot. He says, “When I sit down and start writing it’s partly a process of ‘crafting’ the raw material into a finished, structured whole, and partly a process of remaining open, to allow other material to flow through and become part of the whole. If from anywhere, these poems come from my highest, deepest self…”
This is the start of his poetry blog:

Feel free to have a look before Sunday if you want to choose any poems you like. We will read some on the day together.
