Denton Poets’ Assembly will meet again 10 a.m. – Noon on June 21st at the Emily Fowler Public Library in Denton, Texas. Guests are welcome and encouraged to bring a favorite poem to read. Members will be reading a Stretched Sonnet based on J. Paul Holcomb’s lesson on the subject last month. 

Members and guests will be given an opportunity to read a free choice poem. 

We look forward to J. Paul Holcomb's poetry lesson this month, a lesson on a French form, the Rondel. 

In addition, we'll vote on DPA chapter officers for the year 2014-2015 during this meeting.
