"My sister and I are avid readers. After exploring this site and seeing how popular ChickLit type groups are, we decided it might be fun to start our own. My sis works at Barnes and has an "In" to all the good ChickLit books coming out. So we hope to have some really good books to read and discuss. Also we hope to meet some new friends in the Portland area." Above is the description that I wrote when the group was first started. Since then my sister started culinary school (while working full ti …

This is an evening group of poetry and wine enthusiasts. It is also a follow up to Poems and Coffee for those who can't make Sunday morning, but still love poetry and would like to discuss poetry over a glass of wine. This will be a group for writers and readers of the literary art form. This first meeting will be designed around what people bring to the group. I'd like to discuss the idea of creating a forum of reading poetry by members or others and those who enjoy writing poetry. Part of the …

Meet up locations will be close in. As the group forms we can settle in on a place or two. Whooo hooo... Books !!!

 This is a (mostly) unstructured opportunity to meet and talk with other poets about writing, inspirations, poetics, prosody, or the lack thereof. Bring a topic you'd like to discuss -- or none at all. We'll throw them in a hat and let the conversation take us where it leads us.

Some of us are dedicated book readers. Others can't seem to find the motivation. So whether you are the former, or the latter (me), let's get together to inspire and encourage each other to read and share our literature experiences!
