Today's Workshop

Before and after critiquing our poems,we had a provocative discussion on the choice to follow traditional rules of writing poems vs. the choice to innovate the style and content. I will not even attempt to offer a synopsis of the conversation becuase it'd be too difficult to capture the nuances but I'd love to hear comments from YOU, the readers of this blog...

What's this about?

For the last 2+ years, I've been meeting once-a-month with other San Francisco Bay Area poets to work together to fine-tune our poems. I was published for the first time last year in SOMA Literary Review - The City Is Always Cold At Night and have had other publishing success as well. I'm also writing a lot more poetry these days.

The poetry group "Poets Wanted" is the force behind the success of my poetic endeavors so I'd like to expand the group and encourage people to form similar groups in their own community.
