Welcome to Book Bar's official Poetry Club. This club is part book club and part workshop/writers' group, led in part by local poets. The first half of the meeting will be spent discussing the book of the month, and the second half will be spent sharing/workshopping each other's poetry (if you'd like to bring some to share - it's optional).
For March, the selected book is Even the Stars Look Lonesome by Maya Angelou (book description is located at the bottom of this listing - please note this is more of a collection of short essays from the poet Maya Angelou rather than a collection of her poetry).
