Oct. 21st! Come celebrate Iain Haley Pollock's exceptional new collection with us! thenotebookscollective.com/event/in-con...

That's this coming Tuesday, everyone! Come join us! thenotebookscollective.com/event/in-con...

Indulging in beautiful poems by Monica Lee Weatherly & Valerie Smith via @notebookscltv.bsky.social Home & place. Belonging & longing.

Join us on August 3rd to learn how to practice identifying what’s working in a piece, what questions it’s asking, and what possibilities revision can open up. Through interactive lecture and guided prompts, we’ll explore how to cultivate a more generous, self-aware approach to the revision process.

Friends, we'd love for you to join us for this class on Sunday, July 27th. @cynthiamhoffman.bsky.social is teaching Write Two: The Prose Poem as Diptych Memoir and whew, does it promise to be an amazing two hours. thenotebookscollective.com/event/write-...

Also, don't miss this free opportunity to explore the epistolary form as a way to address current social justice issues in today’s political landscape with Pauletta Hansel and Tabassam Shah: poetsagainstracism-usa.org/events/

One week from tonight! Join Fleda Brown & @oomenam.bsky.social for an In Conversation. Both acclaimed poets and essayists, Fleda and Anne-Marie are also both teachers, Michganders, and friends. Registration is free for this virtual event!

Writing is fine. It's literally the most embarrassing thing on earth to put yourself on full display for rejection or validation, but it's fine. I enjoy it. I find it therapeutic to set myself on fire.

Our next In Conversation is on March 18 with @cynthiamhoffman.bsky.social & Sarah Kain Gutowski. They’ll talk their respective collections as book-length “projects,” how their own journeys with OCD/anxiety have impacted their work; and more. thenotebookscollective.com/event/in-con...

This is happening this Tuesday evening! We're still pinching ourselves a little that we get to host these poets and hope that you join us! Reminder: In Conversation events are free and virtual (via Zoom) and all are welcome :)

Busy Sunday? @jessicacuello.bsky.social is teaching a class about persona poetry and we'd love for you to join us. Find details and registration info at the link. thenotebookscollective.com/event/writin...

If you're in Cincy this Tuesday (Feb. 4th), come to Sitwell's Coffee House for some electric poetry from @taylorbyas.bsky.social & @kebpoet.bsky.social! We'll have an open mc, too!

The phenomenally talented poet @jessicacuello.bsky.social is teaching a persona class on March 2nd for only $60 and I'm irrationally excited. More here: thenotebookscollective.com/event/writin...

So excited for this In Conversation event!

This order doesn't just ban trans people from the military. It states that this administration believes trans people lack "an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle" and that being trans "is not consistent with the humility and selflessness required of a service member."

Your regular reminder to tell the creators whose work you love that you love their work. Doesn't have to be a conversation, can just be "hey, you made a thing I love, thank you for it." It'll make their day, and probably yours too.

I had the chance to work with Poet Lore to pick some amazing poems! I really hope y’all enjoy my selections www.poetlore.com/2024/12/17/v...

This is the energy I need to see from our reps. More of this. Please.

An important note about bathrooms in the US Capitol: members have private bathrooms in their offices. Members who are obsessed with where other people pee can use their own private bathroom.

Unconscionable and yet I'm sadly not surprised.

“I tell you how it is that we live and what it is that we do. We get ourselves up off our much abused sofas to the old intolerable sound of hollow spoons and hollow bowls to ensure that our love has not left the world or else.” C.D. Wright

Hi. I’m a #poet who first studied #cnf. First #poetry collection forthcoming from Lily Poetry Press Jan. 2026. In my day job I do social media for a county wide library system. Would love to connect with other #writers and poets to talk about #writing, #reading nd anything else that brings joy.

German lesson for the day!! 😜 Grief bacon... My new favourite German word.
