The Poets Circle @ Poet to Poet
a private community for poets
Meets: Twice monthly / virtual
Open to all poets curious about poetic process and developing a book.
Join The Poets Circle for twice monthly conversations on the nuts and bolts of poetry-book development and the big questions that background our process, such as: How do we develop poetic voice? Is a thematic approach to writing helpful or harmful? How much should we consider audience when we write? Plus, live Q&As with guest authors.
