Welcome back to this general chat episode of The Lazy Sunday Book Club. This week we are discussing poetry: what we like and dislike about poetry, why we may or may not read it, and so on, as well as discussing five poems chosen for us by Annie, our resident poetry lover. Sit back and enjoy this gentle foray through poetry with us!
