Poems On Being with Each Other
What happens in between people? All kinds of things: we love each other, we ignore each other, hate, attract, apall and admire each other. There are fights, misunderstandings, creativity, babies, beliefs and philosophies made in the space between us.
Join Irish poet Pádraig Ó Tuama —host of the popular podcast Poetry Unbound — in a retreat exploring some poems about being with each other. We will read well known poems and reflect on their insight; we will also have time for writing and sharing.
Please save the date in your calendars! Registration information coming soon.
