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
(OCTOBER)
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
(NOVEMBER)
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
(DECEMBER)
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…
Marilynne Robinson’s Housekeeping invites us into the shifting world of two sisters whose lives are shaped by loss. And while this theme informs the entirety of what follows, what calls to me isn’t the loss itself, but the ways that it explores isolation and belonging through the eyes of its young narrator, Sylvie. Join us this fall in Fingerbone!
*This is an excellent audiobook!
