Over the past week, I've been amazed by the resourcefulness of my fellow writers in the state in the face of this COVID-19 curve-ball-to-seemingly-everything. Whether it's holding Portsmouth's Beat Night on YouTube or figuring out a way for Poetry Out Loud high school finalists to perform online, we're finding a way to continue our poetry and connect.
People have shared with me their disappointment about not being able to continue meetings of their local writing groups. COVID-19 could disrupt, in some cases, twenty continuous years of people meeting to share poetry. Here's some good news a poet can use: I think you can still meet, still share your work, still keep your tradition.
If you're in a writing group based in New Hampshire and are looking for ways to continue meeting, I'm happy to help you build an online way to meet.
It takes about 30 minutes to set up and is pretty easy for your members to use. Send me an email at Balconyofwords@gmail.com if you're interested.
