Poetry Circle

At the Empty Bowl Zendo
Church of the Redeemer
Morristown, New Jersey

Come share a morning of poetry

that sheds the light of awareness

on the world round us

and within us.

We gather twice each year to read poetry that we have found to be particularly provocative or inspiring. If it's been a long time since your read any poetry, or if you're looking for new favorites, you can try some of these terrific resources:

If you would like to join us, please contact Vic (at VicCarlson@aol.com) or Carole (at 908-277-3892) so we know how much coffee and snacks to prepare. You can also sign up at the Zendo.

Be sure to bring a few of your favorite poems to share with the group (and one copy of each poem to leave for the anthology). Past anthologies are available in the closet at the Zendo for a $5 donation.

Beyond our ideas of right-doing and wrong-doing, there is a field. I'll meet you there. -Rumi
