Hello to any and all newbies. Welcome!
We’ve had several new members join recently. If you are also new to poetry and critique, this site has lots of helpful things you can read. I’ll post links to all our help and how-to pages below (written by those who were much more learned than I). It’s ok to make mistakes, this site is for learning (especially in the basic forum.) However, it is not ok to not try at all. Please make sure all comments contain an attempt at critique. A simple “I like this” or any facsimile of that is not permitted in the workshops and will be deleted. If you have questions, please ask, we are always happy to help.
Happy writing!
