Hello from the Pacific Northwest!

Hi everyone!

I'm from Oregon, surrounded by forests and rivers that have been my muse for the past five years. I write mostly free verse, usually about nature - the way light moves through trees, the sound of water over stones, that sort of thing.

I found this community through a friend and I'm really happy to have a place to share and learn. I've been writing in isolation for too long!

Looking forward to meeting you all.

Welcome, RiverStone! Nature poetry is such a beautiful tradition. I can already tell from your description that you have a keen eye for detail.

We'd love to see some of your work when you're ready to share. The Critique Circle is a supportive space!

Oregon! I visited the Columbia River Gorge once and still think about the way the mist hung over the water. There's so much poetry in that landscape.

Welcome to the community!
