poet james escher | I'm a poet, that is, I write poetry.
Description: A poetry group in Champaign Urbana Illinois, we meet to workshop, perform poetry readings, educate and build community through the power of poetry.
We are a local poetry group that meets to explore our passion for words, share poetry, favorite authors, personal stories and how we can make poetry a dynamic part of the community experience.
After a brief hiatus with the previous editor, The News-Gazette is now in collaboration with the CU Poetry group to present a weekly haiku in the newspaper each Sunday. Submissions may be made to [email protected] with "C-U haiku" in the subject line. Include your name and city, which will be published with your haiku and posted to The News-Gazette website and linked from our CU Haiku page.
Our inaugural MTD Poems contest is over. Find out more here . Read the Daily Illini coverage here.
