Poets Helping Poets Official Journal

Tue Apr 22, 2008, 7:18 AM
  • Mood: Welcoming
Until the interest is big enough to start a new account, you can find all of the new PHP info right here!

Who: Any writer! While called ' Poets Helping Poets ', any writer is welcome help with the cause, or to be helped. We are mainly focused on poetry at the moment, but as this gets bigger, I hope to engage ALL of the facets of Literature. We welcome anyone and everyone.

What: Poets Helping Poets is a project to help new poets find their feet and learn a few things and 'old' poets to help to spread their knowledge.

Why: There are a lot of poets out there who have questions or need help with specific things but don't know where to turn to. We are attempting to address this need.

The Point of it is to help the new poets out...and maybe get a few poets banded together :XD: Anyway, if you can help, or want to be helped, either note me or comment here. Please fill out the following form:

A tree of Love will sprout.
