We get it: it can be daunting to dip your toes into poetry. You may not be sure where to start. That’s why H&H Books started a new book club: Poetry is for Everyone.

Our next meeting is Saturday, July 26 at 2 PM at Valerio Coffee Roasters (2329 Frankford Avenue). We’ll discuss Let Us Believe in the Beginning of the Cold Season by Iranian poet, filmmaker, and feminist Forough Farrokhzad.

Participants are highly encouraged to read the book before the meeting in order to participate fully. H&H staffer Kristen will ask questions & facilitate discussion, and participants will share their thoughts and impressions of the month’s selection. There’ll be a brief writing exercise, too, so bring a pen and pencil and paper.

Attendance is free, but registration on Eventbrite is recommended.

Copies of Let Us Believe in the Beginning of the Cold Season will be available at H&H Books (2230 Frankford Avenue). Stop by and pick one up, or pay for your copy in advance on Eventbrite—we’ll email you once it’s in stock. 

Need further enticement? Book club attendees will receive 10% off drinks at Valerio during our meeting!
