The Caltech Poetry Club meets every Friday from 4:30 to 6 PM at tables by the Red Door Cafe. Bring 10 copies of your own poem if possible, for sharing and discussion. Or just listen and enjoy the poetic conversation. New members welcome! Join in with the Red Door Poets: The most dynamic poetry center in the scientific world! We always read poems by other contemporary and historical poets. Topics have included Wallace Stevens, William Butler Yeats, the Korean Sijo tradition, Mel Weisburd, M. Kei Neil McCarthy, Pabo Neruda, William O'Daly, Denise Levertov. We also schedule writing sessions and readings at inspiring spots on our beautiful campus, currently some of our poets are writing micropoetry - short forms, especially Tanka inspired by locations on the Caltech Campus,  We've shared poetry inspired by scientific lectures at Caltech. We produced Caltech Poetry Journals and performed poems from these in 2009 and 2010 for the Caltech Center for Diversity, "A World Tour of Women".In March 2012 we presented "Reason and Mystery" for the WilsonFest conference, in Dabney Lounge,  as the Caltech Poetry Journal a live performance with poetry music. art  and dance.  As science steps out on the edge of knowledge and discovery, so do the poets walk into the unknown with their words. Look for Kathabela's flowery hat to identify the group table.
