Location: via Zoom

Members and guests – Free!

Come join the conversation! This discussion group is now in its thirteenth year, but new members are encouraged to join! Starting in June, the Group will be reading a new Anthology!

All readings are from the anthology: “The Civically Engaged Reader” published by the Great Books Foundation and can be ordered online from the Foundation store.

Reading Selections:

  • “Theme for English B” by Langston Hughes
  • “Recitation” by Toni Morrison
  • “Mending Wall” by Robert Frost

As these are the final readings of the “Associating” section, we will also summarize our thoughts and impressions on the subject.
