Poets in all stages in their poetic journey, providing support, critique, advice, and poetry

A small writing group for serious writers interested in independent thought, language and reading for pleasure. NOT for those who have picked up writing as retirees and not paid their dues -- pet peeve, sorry!) Any genre is welcome; it is your writing, focus and desire to give and receive that...

The purpose of this group is to explore the relationship between art and poetry. If your writing is more prose-oriented (i.e no line breaks), that is also acceptable.

This group is for as many as 10 poets who actively submit their work to literary magazines. It's for poets who wrestle with the time and energy submitting demands: selecting target journals; matching poems with target journals; keeping records of submissions, dates, acceptances, rejections; keeping...

Poetry Chapbook - Creation to Publication

Publishing is a decision, not luck. This group is designed to hold space for our intentions and our expressions. The idea is to look at poems together. To see how they speak to each other. We consider order and development, as well as turns within the poem...

I want to start a group of 4 to 6 poets to share our poetry, discuss, perhaps critique if that is desired. Discussion can include writing and Art in general, what are we reading and thinking about as we create. Seeking published poets (books or in literary journals) who have a steady practice, poets...
