Moments Falling Open

Poetry by the Write Group

I founded The Write Group as a supportive community whose members actively pursue poetry, network and seek to hone their writing skills. We have explored the “specular” poem inspired by the British poet, Julia Copus.  This form forces the poet to consider word order on an additional level and challenges the concept of linear thought. Selected interpretations of this new poetic form, in which the second stanza is an inverted repetition of the first, are included in this anthology. Moments Falling Open is the culmination of The Write Group’s efforts. I hope it will invite readers to pursue the promise of poetry through its reading and stimulate interest in poetry as a genre. It is my goal that readers will be encouraged by the efforts of The Write Group to value poetry as both artistic expression, and a means of bringing people together in community.
