by 36 members A double-edged title, as is my wont. Poems chosen will show considered choices of words and technique, and also will be considered for inclusion here. Thanks to rebecca askew for the inspiration.
As we all read at different times, should you come across a poem you deem worthy of inclusion, please message me the title and poet's name on site.
To members who suggest poetry: *please* keep the collection's name in mind. This is not a site to post every word you write, or every word of your favorite poets. Yes, this is an exclusive group in the original sense of the word.
"...a showplace for the craft of poetry, and for the craftspeople who put intention behind their emotion on the page."
"Sad statement of the way the game must be played these days that it took you longer to add the hashtags and post to collections than it did to write your poem."
