Welcome Co-Authors

See poet CaLokie, one of our new co-authors, at Kath's home for "Poet's Night" in Pasadena, California. ************* Co-authors... you can write posts just like I am doing now. I can't wait for one of you to speak up at the party! **********Our first arriving co-author/party guest for the New Year was Deborah P Kolodji, on far right, laughing-- Hi, Debbie, thanks so much! We had a great time at our "poetry night" at our real home in Pasadena as pictured above, now for more great talks, poetry and adventures together! Do our other guests know her? Debbie is a prolific, published local poet, moderator of the Southern California Haiku Study Group at the Pacific Asia Museum, and author of a fascinating and inspiring page on Livejournal, her Poetry Scrapbook and Random Musings. What have you been doing poetically this year in general, co-authors, and what are you looking forward to? Perhaps you could say a bit more about yourselves as I am sure many of our guests would like to know more!

Welcome Poets

Welcome poet friends here, to a gathering online, for conversation and poetry. And just see what happens? This will be by invitation, (or petition) only, and any poet can post and edit their own posts. I wonder what we can create here. I imagine it as a more intimate and serious, though playful gathering, a simple ongoing conversational meeting place, as an evening party of poets at our home might be. It is not meant to replace or duplicate any other poetry site, but to be a small salon where a few friends gather in a relaxed poetic way. The new Blogger has offered this possiblility for multiple authors to post, so I decided to try this out. In the photos you see here are many of the poets I've invited to our "party" here--I will identify them as they show up--and add more photos when surprise featured co-author friends arrive. Is this fun, have a drink and... what do you think?
