The Drink & Draft Poetry Roadshow
The Drink and Draft Poetry Roadshow is a traveling poetry writing workshop that meets online and in various bars, coffee shops, and other locations around the Chicago suburbs. We write together and discuss poetic practice.
Portland Writers' Nook
I would like to see an in-person group get started in Portland or the greater Portland area that focuses on craft, support and feedback, a group that is inclusive to all genres, communities and levels of experience.
Serenity Cafe Writers
"What does it mean to be a conscious, active, engaged human being in our world today? How do we live that out through our personal, community, and global interactions with others? How do we live that out within ourselves and our writing?"
As a writer and an editor, and as an evolving being, these are the areas I'd like to address in a writer's group. I'd love to share insight, encouragement, and delve into exploration with others who are asking these types of questions.
I'm the editor and publisher of a quarterly arts/culture/consciousness magazine that features global writers and perspectives, as well as a regional segment focused on the South Carolina coastal area. I am a photographer and graphic designer, published poet since the early 1990's. I welcome anyone who would like to be a part of the discussion and exploration of these topics. I look forward to contributing to the discussion, helping others, and learning from those who participate.
Poets of Interbeing
"If you are a poet, you will see clearly that there is a cloud floating in this sheet of paper. Without a cloud, there will be no rain; without rain, the trees cannot grow: and without trees, we cannot make paper." —Thich Nhat Hanh
Poets of Interbeing is intended to be a small, supportive group of poets who share similar themes in our work as encapsulated by the Thich Nhat Hanh quote above. These themes include poetry as a way of paying attention to the world around us, the interdependence of all things, relationships between nature and humans, and places and those who live in those places.
We plan to meet twice a month to share, appreciate, and workshop poems. Since the group is just getting started, the frequency and format may change depending on the interests of its members. If you are a poet and your writing touches on the above themes, we'd love to meet you!

The Tardigrades Salon
A salon for writers who want to have their work read and discussed and become part of a creative community. We will work on providing constructive feedback and encouragement for writers on the long and lonely slog. Workshop experience is desirable but not required, though we will use standard workshopping techniques. All genres are welcome, the only requirement being an authentic attempt at creative work without judgement or prejudice.
If interested please email javedjahangir@yahoo.com with 5 pages of your writing sample.
Short Fiction Writers
Hi there!
After years of being out of the literary scene, it is my attempt to bring together others who are just as passionate as I am with re-creating a supportive workshop setting with writers who are committed to writing, sharing, critiquing, and revising their work with each other. Whatever the end goal may be, if you have work you would like feedback on and are also willing to bring your writing experience to others, this group would be great for you.
Workshops can be daunting, and that's not my intention. Although I'm more traditional, I am very understanding of others' reading and writing capabilities, especially in the midst of a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic. If you're a writer, I urge you to have some form of accountability, whether that's with a group like this or on your own.
