Review for Oregon Poetry Association, Portland, OR, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have been associated with this nonprofit for eight years now, five years of which I was Unit Chair of the Rogue Valley Chapter. This organization aims to promote poetry and member poets, and to this end maintains units throughout the state. To encourage young people to write, it holds an annual Student Contest and publishes the winning poets in its magazine "Cascadia." To encourage and reward adult poets, it holds two annual contests, publishing winning poems in its journal "Verseweavers." This organization also sponsors and organizes writing conferences throughout the state. The Executive Board is far-sighted and works to provide experiences in poetry at minimal cost to members and other participants.
