The Great Books Poetry Weekend is held annually (usually in November) at the Westminster Retreat in Alamo, California. Each year, the weekend includes three discussions, and usually a guest speaker on Saturday evening. Featured poets in recent years have included Seamus Heaney, Chaucer, T. S. Eliot, Robert Frost, Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson.
The next Poetry Weekend will take place on November 15-16, 2008.
