The Why

Our goal is to create a space in our community for people to collectively share their love of poetry in Chesterfield County, Virginia. We want to create a non-judgemental, welcoming and supportive space for aspiring poets of any experience level to share their art.

We believe in the power of poetry to build community, increase understanding, and share what makes us human.

Join us to write, listen, share, express, heal, emote, grieve, and grow!
