Mill Creek, Edmunds area
From Eileen Duncan:
North King County/South Snohomish poets are looking for new members for our poetry group. We are poets who write seriously but don’t take ourselves too seriously, and want to hear and be heard, provide and receive honest and compassionate feedback, and hone poems for publication as well as for art. Timing would be once or twice a month, M, T, or W evenings. For more information, please contact Mike Johnsen or Eileen Duncan.

Dear Mike & Eileen, i might be into this—i am leery of groups in general and am a poor critic of other people’s poetry. i know what i like but seldom know why. how are you selecting members? should i send you something or just show up somewhere w some work? i’m usually attending a reading most mondays, so too wednesday is popular what w Breadline & some other venues. Tuesday evening is probably best for me. Larry.
