Poetry

[close] Books by and of interest to LGBTQ+ Amish, Mennonite, Anabaptist Diaspora. Curated by James Schwartz

[close] This is a group for those teens who enjoy writing poetry, novels, short stories and more and choose this way to express themselves. Here we will discuss writing techniques, share inspiration, ask for advice on our works and just life in general.

[close] A forum for friendly discussion of classics, literary fiction, nonfiction, poetry and short stories. We also love movies and art. Don't ask to join this group to promote your work. Once in a while long-standing members may mention they have a book out, but this group is not to be used as a promotional tool.

[close] Let's talk about poetry books. This group's members read poetry collections, with the goal of reviewing twenty in a year. C'mon. Do it. It's good for you, and it's good for poetry. **** We love good poetry and we like members who review worthwhile poetry, revive our enthusiasm, introduce us to new poets, re-introduce us to old favorites, post links reviews to sample poems, and interact at least a little with the group. We don't like when people drop in solely to pimp a book. That's why we've set this group to private. You may request membership by answering the group question. We will rule out members without avatars, members with no books or very few on their shelves, members whose sole mission is to pimp their book or that of a 'friend.' If your GoodReads page suggests you've created an identity to do this, we won't approve your membership. We aren't snobs, but if you write to say you love Rupi Kaur but have never heard of Walt Whitman, then you are likely better off in another group. There are 2 threads in the group for self-promotional posts, https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... and https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... . By requesting to join, you acknowledge that any self-promotion posts are to be posted in those threads only, and violators of the rule may be banned without warning.
