Ponder Poetry

In the spring, Lunch and Literature “Pondered Poetry” in honor of National Poetry Month and part of Bluford Library’s National Library Week celebration, April 14 -18, 2008

I was a little apprehensive about doing poetry for Lunch and Literature however, this worked out smoothly. There was not much preparation as in; time to read a book, taking notes, and come up with thought provoking questions.

I just sent out the word for each attendant to bring their favorite poem from well known and not so well known Black poets for a lunch time read aloud.

Below is a list of the poems presented at our gathering.

We're Back.....

Lunch and Literature is back...
in the swing for spring.

In honor of National Library Week and National Poetry Month we will read, listen to, and ponder poetry. Specifically African American poetry.

Bring your lunch and your favorite poem by a black poet for sharing, and lively discussion.

Also we have extra copies of Black Poets By Dudley Randall to loan to Lunch and Literature participants.

Wednesday, April 16, 2008 . 12:30 p.m. to 1:30p.m. F.D. Bluford Library, 2nd floor seminar room.
