About the event
OWA member Cierra Jackson is exploring the launch of a poetry-specific critique group within the Ohio Writers’ Association, and we’re excited to gauge interest. OWA will host an interest meeting on Saturday, January 31st at 11:00 a.m. for poets who would like to help start—or simply participate in—a group focused on reading, discussing, and offering thoughtful feedback on poetry.
If you write poetry and are interested in a peer critique space designed specifically for poets, we invite you to join this conversation. We want your input on how it should work. If you’re unable to attend the meeting but would like to be involved, let us know, and we’ll follow up with next steps.
