reading groups
pass on a poem reading groups work well in many different kinds of settings. Both At Home and At Work groups can be entirely self-regulating in terms of membership, the place and frequency of their meetings, and their programmes. They can however, if desired, rely on either the pass on a poem team or the website for suggestions and advice about setting up and running their readings. All groups are invited to contact the website so that the poems they read can be posted, searched for , and in some cases, included in the site's online anthology. Both readers and listeners are also encouraged to contribute to the website by suggesting poems and poets to include on the various pages. They are also welcome to notify the website of their own poetry-related activities and venues.
Away From Home groups are usually more reliant on pass on a poem for the provision of programmes and for help in setting up and organising regular readings. In some settings, such as hospitals and hospices and other places where library access might be limited, volunteers offer ready-made readings, either as one-off, or as regular events. Visitors to the site are invited to suggest any residential settings local to them where they believe pass on a poem could make a contribution to the quality of life.
