Real talk for a minute. Building a real community takes more than posts and good intentions. It takes people who believe in what we’re building enough to support it. If this space has: • Encouraged you • Helped you grow • Given you a place to be heard One of the most powerful ways to give back is support. Not because anyone has to. But because communities survive when people invest in them. Support can look like: • Donations • Upgrading memberships • Sharing what we’re building • Simply spreading the word Every bit of support helps keep this space alive, growing, and accessible to people who need it. No pressure. No guilt. Just honesty. If this place has meant something to you, and you’re in a position to give back it truly matters more than you know. And whether you give, share, or just keep showing up… I’m grateful you’re here. 💛

A Home for Writers Who Take the Work Seriously. If you’re here, you didn’t stumble in by accident. You came because something in you refuses to stay quiet. Because you write when the world sleeps. Because lines follow you into grocery stores and sunsets and grief and joy and long drives home. Because you believe poetry isn’t a hobby it’s a craft. This is not a scrolling group. This is a workshop. A studio. A fireside table where poets sharpen blades made of language. So welcome, come on in kick them shoes off and hang out on the couch, read a little share a little. Your home.
