General Meeting | Apr 17

Wednesday, April 17, 2024

Join us at our fourth General Meeting of the 2023-2024 year.

A Special Presentation with The Poetic Odysseys Group
featuring Sandra Bruneau, Geoffrey Blair, Jess Brewer, George McWhirter, Michael Healey, Philip Resnick and Helen Spencer  

The Poetic Odysseys group was created in 2018 as a forum for Emeriti faculty and their partners with an interest in poetry. In the early years, it met twice each term in one of the classrooms in the building where the Emeritus College has its offices, with a broad range of participants in attendance. With the onset of the COVID pandemic, we went online, and have continued to meet twice a term using Zoom. Members who write poetry have also taken to exchanging poems with each other online, and have contributed poems to the College newsletter.

On April 17, the group will be sponsoring a poetry reading at the College’s general meeting. It will be an opportunity for members of the Poetic Odysseys group to showcase some of the poetry they have been writing in recent years.

Book Display

This General Meeting will also feature a Book Display of recent Emeriti authors.
