Both our co-hosts (& heavy friends!) are guest-editing the next edition of About Place Journal, and we couldn't be more excited and honored to curate this volume. Thanks to Michael and Jesse for this opportunity. Folks: Amanda, Seth, Nora, and Beatrice are ready to read your work!

The Wisconsin Fellowship of Poets Chapbook Contest opens September 1st. Any chap published this year by a current Wisconsin resident is eligible. This is my second year as coordinator of the contest. The final judge is my first poetry mentor, John G. Morris. www.wfop.org/chapbook-con...

“Tabi Po” is what you say when entering wild places, a request to pass through unseen realms with care. It’s also a poetry altar. A gathering of spirits, voices, grief, and joy. Join us every third Sunday. You’ll be welcomed with poems and warmth. #poetry #tabipopoetry

Due to time and labor constraints (and that we’re all volunteers), we’ve decided to focus primarily on the Tabi Po Reading Series & Open Mic. We’ve updated our website to reflect this. Check it out! www.tabipopoetry.com
