POET CAMP Book Club
Poet Camp Book Club
A progressive and generative book club! Each quarter we’ll read a different book together.
Here’s how each round will go:
MONTH 1
(APRIL)
Read!
Book club book is announced! Joy! Excitement! Those who sign up will receive a set of questions that we’ll use to frame our thinking the rest of the time we spend with this book.
MONTH 2
(MAY)
Write!
We’ll read! We’ll ponder! We’ll post favorite quotes in a book club members only Poet Camp page. Sarah will send a few prompts inspired by this book to encourage you to generate work inspired by our reading.
MONTH 3
(JUNE)
Share!
We’ll gather together on Zoom for an evening of sharing our thoughts about the book, and a read-around of poems inspired by the book we’ve read.
Our next Book Club book is…
Dig into Camille Dungy’s beautiful book of essays, which grows beyond discussions of gardens, and explores what it is to be a poet, a black woman and a mother in the Anthropocene.
*Yes, I know of those few silly geologists who refuse to name it as such. (Check out further controversy, as reported by this article from Nature magazine.). Lots of inspiration and food for thought in these pages!
