Reading Ensemble This is a weekly group for reading short pieces together that meets every Wednesday from 6-7 PM at C.L.R. James Library in Dalston.
We read a broad range of poems and other things and have wonderful, vibrant conversations about them and the effect they have on us. It’s a great place to share something with others in the community and get to know new people.
This programme is run by College of Modern Anxiety CIC, a social enterprise focused on learning and building community, in partnership with Hackney Libraries.
