Can’t stand Poetry? Hated it since School? It’s true, the subject is awash with average or worse material. Like panning for gold, a lot of rubbish has to be washed away before a nugget is spotted, gleaming, ready to be enjoyed and cherished. Come with me, and let’s see if we can find something to change your mind, (and life).

About Ian Anderson

My name is Ian Anderson my background is in Telecommunications and Project Management. I retired in 2010 from a stressful, pressurised environment and have greatly enjoyed concentrating on many of my previously neglected interests. I am passionate about these which include Aeronautics, Space Engineering and as a contrast my love of poetry. I wish to share the pleasure I derive from these topics with a wider audience. Particularly so in the case of Poetry which does not get the exposure it so deservedly merits. It is widely accepted that learning poems by heart has a beneficial effect on memory and cognition and provides food for the soul in today’s hectic world. My talk “Poems for People who hate Poetry has been well received and I enjoy the challenge implicit in the Title. I look forward to sharing this with you.
