Meetings

Gillian Wegener, published poet, and president of the Modesto-Stanislaus Poetry Center, will present “The Relevance of Poetry in Our Everyday Lives, or Poetry and Why it Makes Our Lives Better,” at the Tri-Valley Writers April 20, 2024, meeting. We turn to poetry in times of grief and in times of celebration. It comforts us, it inspires us, and it connects us to each other. Every year someone says that poetry is dead or dying, and every year, they are proven wrong. Poetry is relevant every day, everywhere, and for just about everyone.
