I contacted my local library and they said that a few years ago someone had tried to get a poetry group going but it only drew 2-3 people and it fizzled out rather quickly. They also told me that if I wanted to give it a try, they would sponsor a group again. So I picked a date and time that worked for me, (the first Thursday of each month from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m.) and Poetic License Writer's Group was born! The library gave us a meeting room at no charge, and advertised the group in their quarterly newsletter and the local weekly newspaper's calendar section. I created a flyer to post in coffee shops and bookstores, and the group started off with 10 interested people, although usually each meeting had 5-7 attendees. This is the perfect size.

The object of a poetry group is for like-minded people to get together once a month (or as often as the group agrees) and aid one another in learning about poetry, critiquing poetry, working on poetry reading skills, and sharing resources such as websites, books, magazines, and other poetry-related material.

If you can find no interest among your friends then you can put up small posters in your local library or bookstore (with permission) advertising your desire to start up a poetry group. I would recommend limiting the numbers in your group to no more then six people to start. Intimate groups work best because there are less distractions and more time can be devoted to each individual's poetry.

What is the proper format for a writing group? Typically, all you need is a location that is available during a regular date and time (or online space if you're following that route), and an agenda for each group gathering (real or virtual). Also, a writing group can start with just two people, and grow from there - there is really no minimum number of participants, although you may find if the group gets very popular that productivity is reduced when a large volume of people participate. You can split the group into two separate writing groups should you be fortunate enough to have that happen.

The location should NOT be at anyone's home. What would be best is a public building, such as a church, synagogue, library, school, or community space. Restaurants, coffeehouses, or pubs may also welcome you, providing you visit during off hours so you don't impede the regular flow of cust
