Aging and the Arts

Join us for a monthly poetry discussion led by The University of Arizona Poetry Center docents. This event is free, and no preparation or knowledge of poetry is necessary to participate. A reading packet will be shared. For anyone who enjoys poetry or learning more about poets in a conversational setting, this informal gathering includes many opportunities to contribute to the conversation and ask questions. It is also a great way to meet people in the community who have similar interests.

The discussion will include topical poems by Seamus Heaney, Jenny Joseph, Charles Simic, Stanley Kunitz, Lu Yu, Anne Stevenson, Julia Kasdorf, and others.

The Aging and the Arts Poetry Circle will take place in the Dorothy Rubel Room at the University of Arizona Poetry Center or in favorable weather conditions in the immediately adjacent breezeway. The event venue offers appropriate room for social distancing.

The University of Arizona Poetry Center is located at 1508 E. Helen St. Tucson, AZ 85721. Complimentary parking will be available adjacent to the building.

Please register by August 18.
