Please note that the safety of our participants is our primary concern; as the venue reopens, we adapt to any advised precautions. The event is usually held in the gallery but check for signage or the security desk if you have trouble finding us. We warmly welcome poets from our area to join our forum. The facilitator begins each session with a poem(s) by an established author(s), or a writing exercise, which will be discussed by our attendees. Then we encourage our attendees to bring their own work for feedback & constructive criticism. We request that 6-10 copies of one poem are brought for participants. We welcome first-timers. The talk is not highbrow, and any level of experience is accepted. We meet on Sunday in the late afternoon for your convenience.
