The Wisconsin Fellowship of Poets Chapbook Contest opens September 1st. Any chap published this year by a current Wisconsin resident is eligible. This is my second year as coordinator of the contest. The final judge is my first poetry mentor, John G. Morris.

Yes, movement helps me, too. There’s something about rhythm—whether breath, steps, or heartbeat—that brings me back to myself. Games, though… that’s such an interesting return path. I’d love to hear more.

There are names I can’t pronounce in my mother’s tongue.
I write poems to remember what was never taught.

Poetry as ritual. Ritual as resistance. What do you return to when writing fails you?

“Tabi Po” is what you say when entering wild places, a request to pass through unseen realms with care.

It’s also a poetry altar.
A gathering of spirits, voices, grief, and joy.

Join us every third Sunday. You’ll be welcomed with poems and warmth.

Clearly we’ve been neglecting this space! But we had an amazing turnout for Milwaukee Poet Laureate Shelly Conley this past Sunday! #tabipopoetry #poetryisnotdead #milwaukee #wisconsin #MKEevents

Join us February 16 for Richard Hedderman!

Robin Christie was our featured reader two Sundays ago! She read from her newly published book, “I am a Woman Growing.” #poetry #milwaukee #tabipopoetry #countyclareirishpub

Do you actually though, because if you do you should reach out to Dasha Kelly Hamilton who does poetry workshops in the jails.

Just bought some cello etudes by Popper…

Due to time and labor constraints (and that we’re all volunteers), we’ve decided to focus primarily on the Tabi Po Reading Series & Open Mic. We’ve updated our website to reflect this. Check it out! www.tabipopoetry.com
