What we’re about
Welcome to the Literature Society | Warrington Meetup!
📚 The Literature Group is for people who would like to geek out and talk about literature & poetry with fellow literature lovers. It is aimed at those in their 20s and 30s to give people of this age group a chance to meet, make friends and share poetry. Depending on interest we may open up to all ages.
🌹 Event Series: Bring Along a Poem
Bring along a poem you have enjoyed. Listen to the poems that others have enjoyed. We read ancient and modern poems - poems in English or translation. Rhyming poems, free verse, sonnets, villanelles - all are welcomed. It will be a monthly event on the first or second Thursday of the month!
