River Poets

Theme: Lonely Hearts 

Not all hearts have to be broken, some are just temporarily wounded. Eventually they might mend.

Susan Brook retired from a career as a reporter for the Press-Enterprise. She is a graduate of Antioch College and one of the founding members of the River Poets. Susan has enjoyed poetry since elementary school when she received a copy of Longfellow’s poems.

Dick Sweeney taught Composition and English & American Literature before retiring in 1999. His poems have appeared in The Alternative Press, West Branch, Viking Dog, River Poets and other small presses. His Winter Wheat produced broadside poems and chapbooks on a cold-type clam-shell press in the cellar of his home outside Jerseytown PA.

Come out and play – wordplay.

Exquisite Corpse, roll the Poetry Dice, Tic-Tac-Poetry, spin the Poetry Wheel, etc.

Did we mention there will be games, word games?
