About us
Santa Fe has a mind-boggling number of great poets and writers, known and unknown. This group is a venue for them all. It is the central "bulletin board" for Santa Fe's poetry and prose scene.
As a member you'll receive announcements of book launches, workshops, close readings, poetry festivals, ekphrastic events, open mics, and lots of other activities involving poetry and prose.
People are always asking us what is going on around town and Meetup is a great venue to list the events and strengthen the poetry and writing community. If you know of an event that you don't see listed on here, let us know and we'll get it posted.

Tuesday Poetry Practice
·OnlineOnlineTuesday Poetry Practice: a weekly online drop-in community of poetry and meditation practioners.
Poetry and meditation both rely on being present, awake, aware. Please join fellow poetry and meditation practitioners Tuesdays from 11 a.m.-noon MST as we explore how the practices of poetry and meditation can complement each other. Each week we will do a grounding meditation, study a relevant poem, write a new poem from a prompt and share our poems in a supportive, accepting community.
To join the group, click here or on the link below.
Tuesday Poetry Practice is offered on a pay-what-you-can basis. Everyone is welcome and donations are gratefully received through my PayPal account.
