COFFEE WITH THE POETS With Open Mic DECEMBER 11, 2013

Hello Fellow Poets, There seems to be a lot of activity these days to distract you from your writing. Still, if you are a member of NCWN West or hope to be, I encourage  you will come to Coffee With the Poets and Open Mic Poetry Reading. We're open to all poets and writers and we are  the best professional support group for writers in the mountains. (Details for Coffee and info about our blog below)

 Meanwhile, keep writing and keep in touch, Nancy Simpson
