ORGANIZATIONS

Poets and writers, there are local and national organizations which keep the community of writers out of isolation and in the public eye when possible. Here are a few:

Baltimore MD area:

http://www.baltimorewriters.org

Camden NJ (Walt Whitman Center, a terrific gem!): http://www.waltwhitmancenter.org

Philadelphia suburbs/Media/DelVal:

http://www.madpoetssociety.com

Associated Writing Programs, national:

Poets & Writers, Inc, national:

Association for the Study of Literature and Environment, national (I’m a member):

CONFERENCES, ETC.

There are many conferences, workshops, seminars and retreats for the working writer. I can’t list them all nor give wise advice on which ones are most worth visiting, but I have attended the West Chester Poetry Conference and found it good. I also recommend the Geraldine R. Dodge Poetry Festival, UPenn Writer’s Conference, the Atlantic Center for the Arts, and Ghost Ranch Conference Center. Links are below:
