Welcome to Café Verona!

You are about to embark on a remarkable journey of self-exploration through poetry. Consume as much poetry as you can – there are free refills, after all – and don’t be afraid to try something new off the menu. Enjoy!

Here’s a copy of the Café Verona Menu 2022, in case you need one or some extra menu sheets. Remember, fill out as much as you can on a daily basis. Write or draw a picture of an emotion your associate with the poem, words the poem makes you think of, a line or phrase that struck you, a connection to your own life, a memory the poem evoked, or any other way you would like to respond. You’ll get credit for completing your menu by turning it in at the end of the unit.

Also, here is a reminder of our Nine Rules for Reading a Poem (Print Version).
