Judith Palmer presents a series about enthusiasts who meet to enjoy and promote their favourite poetry.
East Coker in Somerset was immortalised by TS Eliot in The Four Quartets and the great poet's ashes are buried in the church. The poetry society, however, meets to enthuse about poetry of any sort which its members have come across and enjoyed. Meeting over a meal in the local pub, they share their latest poetry finds and occasionally hold modest poetry competitions.
