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 Sunday, September 28th at 2 PM at Valerio Coffee Roasters (2331 Frankford Avenue). We’ll discuss The Beauty of the Husband by Anne Carson:

“A tango (like a marriage) is something dancers have to dance to the end. This clear-eyed, brutal, moving, darkly funny book tells a single story in an immediate, accessible voice--29 "tangos" of narrative verse that take readers vividly through erotic, painful, and heartbreaking scenes from a long-time marriage that falls apart.”

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 or pencil and paper.

Attendance is free, but registration on Eventbrite is recommended.

Copies of The Beauty of the Husband will be available at H&H Books (2230 Frankford Avenue) in the weeks leading up to the book club meeting. You can also purchase a copy with your Eventbrite ticket.

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