We are WRITERS who believe in the ART and the CRAFT of poetry.  We acknowledge  there is a time to be solitary and a time to bring our work to the light and to audience.  We are interested in reading and publishing and finding larger audiences as well.

By gathering we strive to create community and opportunities for performance and publication.
