Slow Reading: Christina Rossetti's Winter poems

  • The Portico Library 57 Mosley Street Manchester, England, M2 3HY United Kingdom (map)

£5, includes refreshments and printouts of the poems. Book here.

Slow down, read closely, think and discuss - that's what we are asking you to do in this club. Led by Debbie Challis, who has chosen a few of Christina Rossetti's winter poems to read together, reflect on and discuss. Turn off your smart phones, step away from the hectic pace of life, and discuss words.
