Skeleton Tree: A Guided Exploration of Winter Poetry with Jan Westwood

Winter

Skeleton tree,

Skeleton tree,

can’t believe

that deep inside

there’s a life

or a leaf.

Simon Armitage

Join Jan for an exploration of poems about the many aspects of the winter season

celebrated by poets past and present. Let us come together to enjoy the season in all its

rich variety from snow laden trees, animal and birdlife, the wildness of bleak landscapes

to the domestic joys of friendship, food, drink and warmth with a hint of the renewal

that the new year will bring.

Jan was a teacher of English for over 40 years and has had her poems published in various anthologies. She has an MA in English Literature and chairs various poetry groups in person and online.
