POETRY
Many of my customers and friends belong to book groups which are a fantastic way to read some great books and discuss those books with fellow book lovers – and I have noticed its also an enjoyable social occasion with a chance to relax with a glass of wine which helps those discussions extend beyond the book in question…
However, have you thought of poetry for a change – most of us remember poetry from school and not fondly. There is a monthly poetry reading at Don Bank – with various poets reading their own work—with drinks and nibbles – go along one night with some friends and discover how poetry can be. You will be surprised!
Add poetry to your book group activities – choose a poet and each select a poem to read to your friends. The words will come alive.
Poetry is meant to be heard.
The Book Room your local second hand bookshop has recent novels, classics, cookbooks, military history, art books and more. Come in and browse – we are now open every day:
Opening Times:
Monday and Tuesday 1pm to 5pm
Wednesday to Saturday 10am to 5pm (Late night Thursday)
Sunday 11am to 4pm
Please check the monthly newsletter for further extensions to summer trading hours – for your convenience.
Remember – To maintain diversity in Neutral Bay support your local businesses!
