What we're about
We read and respond to poems in excruciating detail. It's fun, I promise!
Upcoming events (4+)
We will read and respond to poetry in excruciating detail. It's fun, I promise!
We'll take turns picking a poem for us to read and respond to. Please come with at least one poem that you are ready to share—whether your own or one from another author. If you have nothing to share, feel free to listen in.
Poems can be uploaded to this Google Drive folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1E1E42a4wZVvkCi9J_KSJSd-h1xml7KMJ?usp=sharing
Be sure to click "Sign In" if you're not already signed in—then click "New" and then "File Upload" to upload your poem.
For those without a Google account, it is also possible to open the poem on your own computer and then share your screen over Zoom. Poems can also be read aloud.

We will read each poem aloud. If desired, the poem can be shared through Google Drive to be shown on a laptop screen or viewed on smartphones. Paper copies can also be distributed. Let's try things and see what works.

VENUE
We'll be at the College Inn Pub in the U District. We've reserved the Snug Room—it's easy to find; ask at the bar for the Seattle Poetry Meetup and they should be able to point you in the right direction.
TRANSIT
The College Inn Pub is close to UW campus bus lines and the light rail station.
