Introduction

I've been impressed with the panelists at the meetings, picking up new ideas, and enjoying the conversation afterwards. Write2Publish has given me lots of ideas about writing and publishing and been a springboard to other meetings and groups.

Have you ever been commerically or self-published?

My daughter, Katie, and I just published the 2009 poetrySPARK Anthology, the best of the poetry read at that event in Raleigh last September, and it's selling big time! I lead that group of totally diverse poetry every year. Buy the book at lulu.com!

Do you have a website you would like to share with the group?

What type of writing are you most interested in?

Poetry, fiction, narrative nonfiction, humor. My 'roots' are in the formerly 'New' American Poetry, esp. the Black Mountain School (Olson, Creeley, et. al.). Relating poetry to life and work - words to express ideas, not as ends in themselves.

What are you currently working on?

Always reading eclectically, writing poetry which Apogee will design into a book and probably self-publish. Working as editor on our first project, the publication of the complete works of my kids' ancestor, which we will publish. Doing readings.

What Cal Nordt is saying about this Meetup Group

The groups are growing with a lot of talented organizers involved and different venues. It is a terrific avenue of networking and information and intellectual growth - the various sub-groups encompass a lot of territory. The guests are always interesting and willing to share their experience, and I have gotten some good ideas about publishing from the guests and Stacey.
