Workshop
Second Tuesday
meets monthly in the English Department of SBU in Bolivar, Missouri.
We are a local
chapter of Missouri State Poetry Society, and through MSPS we are affiliated
with the National Federation of State Poetry Societies.
We currently have thirteen members. Each month one of our members
assigns a topic or a form for the poem we are to write for the following
month.
We participate
in the four activities of our state organization:
- a winter contest,
- a spring anthology
called Grist,
- a summer contest,
- and a fall convention
hosted by one of the chapters in Missouri State Poetry Society.
We sponsor
and attend poetry readings in our community, and we join other chapters
in their community readings.
Publications that support our local chapter are
- a monthly handout
of poems by members
and guest poets to
be read at meetings
- the quarterly
state newsletter Spare Mule,
- the annual state
anthology Grist,
- and the quarterlly
national newsletter Strophes.
Web sites of particular
interest to us include
We participate in a monthly
online workshop to improve our
poetry.
