Purely Poetry - Poetry Reading & Workshop
Come and listen to us reciting our own poetry or song, recite yourself a poem or two... we all help each other if there is a writer’s block, a headline missing, a ending too abrupt, a beginning too frazzled. You are welcome to participate or just come by and listen. Come and see for yourself, how nice it all is!

We will go to a local Christmas Tree farm and harvest our own tree!  Come by to enjoy the scent of Tannenbaum and feel free to help us decorate!
