Just Poets holds general meetings from 1:30-4:00 p.m. on the first Saturday of each month. As of August 6, we will meet at the Henrietta Public Library, 625 Calkins Road. Masking and social distancing are required for members or guests who come to the in-person meetings. A Zoom link is available for those who wish to join online. There is a different program every month, followed by group workshops in which members give and receive feedback on poetry in progress.
We host a poetry reading/open-mic at 7:00 p.m. on the second Wednesday of every month, usually at Before Your Quiet Eyes Bookstore. Audience participants are expected to observe Covid precautions (masking and social distancing) as with our monthly meetings. Find details for these and other programs on our event calendar.
In October we host a day-long retreat usually at the Gleason Lodge, part of the Gell: A Finger Lakes Creative Retreat, on West Hollow Road in Naples, NY. Programs feature local poets and workshops in a spectacular countryside setting.
Our official anthology, Le Mot Juste, containing recent work by many of our current members, is published each spring.
