A monthly writing hour with poems, prompts, and time to write in community, guided by the theme of our Poem of the Month competition.
Every first Monday of the month, poet Suzannah Evans Furnass dedicates the day to her own writing, and she’s opening up that last hour to you.
This is an accountability WRITING HOUR, a space for you to commit to practicing poetry.
Suzannah will be at her desk doing the same. Each session comes with prompts inspired by the current Poem of the Month theme, selected by Suzannah, in case you need a way in. Julys theme is TOO MUCH?
Accessing the writing hour provides you with one free POTM entry, because you may as well submit a poem since you’ve started writing one here!
