We are poets and writers of short prose with a desire to share our work and derive motivation from the creativity of others. We are not a writing work shop or an avenue to publication. Although, in time we may become the basis for a local poetry magazine. For lack of a better description, we are "amateur" poets that are driven by our muse to give birth to the things we write and seek communion with others devoted to the creative process of putting words down on paper. Our mission is to bring loc …

Loosely the idea is for members of the group to host a monthly dinner/lunch in thier home. Each month a new cuisine will be introduced to the group, the host will provide the main course and attendees will …
