Triangle Writers
|
I'm the founder of Triangle Writers, which grew to more than 1,200 members during my leadership. I ran the group from 2008-2022.
I can't count the number of critique groups, workshops, retreats, friendships, and stories that I've had the privilege of thanks to the members of this group. It was wonderful celebrating with folks when books and stories were published, and commiserating over rejection letters. While I no longer lead or participate with Triangle Writers, check them out.

Living Poetry: Raleigh's largest poetry group
Raleigh poets at poetrySPARK
I occasionally support Living Poetry, the largest group of poets in Raleigh. Events include open mics, poet lounges, workshops, and a poetry book club. Living Poetry does not require a membership fee.
In 2010, I organized Raleigh's first-ever Poetry on Demand Booth at poetrySPARK. More than 125 poems were written in under 3 minutes each based on random public prompts. One of my poems inspired a marriage proposal in 2011. In 2012, the couple returned to have their marriage ceremony at the festival. In 2013, many poems were written. No marriages reported. Or divorces.
