Rhymers Club

The Rhymers' Club was a late Victorian poets' group in London, formed in the 1890s for members to meet, read new work, and discuss poetry. It is especially associated with writers such as W. B. Yeats, Ernest Rhys, Ernest Dowson, and Lionel Johnson, and with the anthology The Book of the Rhymers' Club.

Example

At the Rhymers' Club, Yeats could read a new poem aloud, hear other poets' reactions, and then revise it before publishing it.
