SUMMARY:English Medieval Literature
DESCRIPTION:The English Medieval Literature group (previously Chaucer Group). \nAfter completing our reading of Beowulf we’ve spent an interesting year expanding our knowledge of Anglo-Saxon poetry and Anglo-Saxon life in general with help from Kevin Crossley-Holland’s The Anglo-Saxon World. Readings have ranged from the Battle of Maldon\, which ends frustratingly on a cliff-hanger (it turns out we lost) to the Dream of the Rood\, a highly sophisticated blend of Christian and Pagan thought and from the Laws of Wihtred (including the gory details of Trial by Ordeal to the Passion of St Edmund). \nIn September we’ll be returning to the fourteenth century\, embarking on Simon Armitage’s translation of Gawain and the Green Knight.

SUMMARY:Creative Writing
DESCRIPTION:Writing and story-telling have played different roles in our lives\, but we share a common love of words and stories\, and a wish to improve our writing abilities. \nInformation for prospective members:\nWriting is a solitary activity but telling your stories requires an audience. Each month we agree on a writing prompt\, and over the following weeks we write a story of some 1500 words (just a guideline\, not a requirement) to read to other members. Do we laugh or gasp at the right moments? Can we suggest a word or phrase that better conveys your intention?\nTogether we get better at expressing our thoughts and finding our own voices. \nIf you are already working on a writing project and would like to bring chapters along to try out\, that is also encouraged. \nEach year Let’s Talk Suffolk magazine runs a short story competition to select the stories that will appear in the magazine over the next 12 months. This year\, three members of the Creative Writing Group have had stories chosen for publication. Congratulations to Eunice Roberts\, Susan Daniels\, and Kate King. \n

DESCRIPTION:We are a lively\, informal group who meet on a Tuesday fortnightly to read poems aloud over a cup of tea and a biscuit.\nEach person chooses a few poems on a pre-agreed topic and a brief discussion follows a reading. \nTopics include individual poets (Jackie Kay for example) or particular themes (Sun\, Moon and Stars for example).\nAnd sometimes we try to read a longer poem ‘in the round’ (The Rime of the Ancient Mariner for example.)

SUMMARY:Creative Writing
DESCRIPTION:Writing and story-telling have played different roles in our lives\, but we share a common love of words and stories\, and a wish to improve our writing abilities. \nInformation for prospective members:\nWriting is a solitary activity but telling your stories requires an audience. Each month we agree on a writing prompt\, and over the following weeks we write a story of some 1500 words (just a guideline\, not a requirement) to read to other members. Do we laugh or gasp at the right moments? Can we suggest a word or phrase that better conveys your intention?\nTogether we get better at expressing our thoughts and finding our own voices. \nIf you are already working on a writing project and would like to bring chapters along to try out\, that is also encouraged. \nEach year Let’s Talk Suffolk magazine runs a short story competition to select the stories that will appear in the magazine over the next 12 months. This year\, three members of the Creative Writing Group have had stories chosen for publication. Congratulations to Eunice Roberts\, Susan Daniels\, and Kate King. \n

SUMMARY:English Medieval Literature
DESCRIPTION:The English Medieval Literature group (previously Chaucer Group). \nAfter completing our reading of Beowulf we’ve spent an interesting year expanding our knowledge of Anglo-Saxon poetry and Anglo-Saxon life in general with help from Kevin Crossley-Holland’s The Anglo-Saxon World. Readings have ranged from the Battle of Maldon\, which ends frustratingly on a cliff-hanger (it turns out we lost) to the Dream of the Rood\, a highly sophisticated blend of Christian and Pagan thought and from the Laws of Wihtred (including the gory details of Trial by Ordeal to the Passion of St Edmund). \nIn September we’ll be returning to the fourteenth century\, embarking on Simon Armitage’s translation of Gawain and the Green Knight.
