Roath Writers would love to continue delivering our meetings both online & in person to ensure all members can participate.

To do this, we need to renew our own professional Zoom account to use for our online meetings & events. Can you help? 💙

New poem in London Magazine! Thanks to the editors for including it.

[Kathryn Gray @KathrynGray]

Posting this exemplary poem by an exemplary poet, Kona Macphee, is something I love to do every few years or so. The smallness of it—but the immensity. Utterly beautiful poem-making.

“Anyone who writes is a seeker. You look at a blank page and you’re seeking. The role is assigned to us and never removed. I think this is an unbelievable blessing. I mean, to be seventy-eight years old and still looking—this amazes me.” —Louise Glück https://t.co/h6ybQtgnO0

[Chill Subs @chillsubs]

When a lit mag lands a piece in the pushcart anthology, it’s a big deal. It brings prestige, more readers, and attention.

Not just for the mag, but for the writer too 🖤
