Event Details

According to the poet Philip Larkin, “days are where we live.” Poets are among the best chroniclers of our daily existence, so it’s no wonder that they choose certain parts of the day as the setting of, or inspiration for, their musings. Join us as we explore various poets’ accounts of the passage of time.

Attendants are encouraged to read the poems for each session in advance, but no prior exposure is required. This class will be interactive, so you will be encouraged to participate as the spirit moves you. There will be four 90-minute class sessions, led by Cyrus Cook, a Wallingford resident and retired English teacher at Choate Rosemary Hall. 

 

By signing up for the first class, you will sign up for all of the classes in the series going forward.
