University of Arizona Poetry Center

But, how many know the importance of quiet while studying intently..?AndresourcesAndbeautyAndthe chair in the middle of the room.In quiet, with lightAndthe whispers of the hushedAndHuddledWhile the flotsam of the dayestablishesits query.And.While you read about Genesisand dinosaursfrom the feminineperspective.While fossils of wordsdanceinto your lexicon.While the Zen Garden sways.And,While.Water drips from the faucet,onto the rocksin the corner.And, while, jetsam.That's the way it here is, in the realm of the Nations largest collection. Come to read, come to learn, come to be inspired.Don't forget to bring the kids for Family Days either. Writing activities, learning activities and poetry read aloud. Introduce them early, teach them to appreciate the more remarkable. Or, at least, let someone else get them started. Check out the Poetry Center's website: http://poetry.arizona.edu/ and keep going--when you love it--to discover all that can be done as a person, a couple or a family at http://poetry.arizona.edu/k-12/family-daysYou won't be sad that you did.

I have gone here for years, watched the center build a new building, and enjoyed all types of free poetry readings. Worth trying out, even if poetry is not something you have experienced before. Great place to enjoy it, if it is part of your everyday life!
