Denton Poets' Assembly will meet on Saturday, December 15 at the Emily Fowler Public Library in Denton, Texas. Visitors and guests are welcome.
We will begin our meeting at 10 a.m. by welcoming visitors, then members discussing chapter business and other related activities.

Following the discussion, we will read poems based on J. Paul Holcomb's lesson, “Edgar Lee Masters’ Spoon River Anthology is a conceptual masterpiece.”

J. Paul plans to present his quick lesson on, a "Love Poem." In addition he plans a presentation on, "A Matter of Form." 

Following the assignment readings DPA plans to engage in a special time, honoring J. Paul Holcomb for his years of service to the chapter his sharing of monthly lessons of poetry, especially poetry forms. He is stepping down as our monthly presenter of lessons, but we hope to keep him around as an asset and resource.

Susan Maxwell-Campbell will distribute materials for a new Read and Respond series based on guidelines frequently used in academic circles. Members are asked to read supplied material and respond by writing according to supplied guidelines.

DPA also plans to set aside the meeting as a time of celebration of holidays during this season. Members are bringing food and beverages and plan to enjoy fellowship together.

Following our celebration members and guests will read a free choice poem. 

We will adjourn the meeting at noon.

A critique session follows the regular meeting.
