Due to the uncertainty of the Covid crisis, we have made the difficult decision to have Poets on the Coast 2021 via Zoom. We are following in the footsteps of all other summer/ fall conferences and putting the health of our community first. The good news is that we will be able to accept more poets and that you can join us from the comfort of your home! Stay tuned for more information or check out our Poet-in-Residence for this year: January Gill O'Neil.

FULL AND PARTIAL SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE for BIPOC writers and individuals in financial need: Kelli and Susan want this workshop to be accessible to all who want to participate.

2-3 sentences what your circumstances are, send three recent poems and tell us what, if anything, you could pay.
