No Shame Writers Collective

We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, “O me! O life!… of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless… of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?” Answer: that you are here; that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?Dead Poets Society

No Shamers Unite

• This is a great spot for us to post work, ideas, inspiring tidbits and No Shame paraphernalia. For those of us who can't make it to a meeting, we could even get an online group going to share work on a regular basis. It's whatever you want it to be...

• Thanks, Johanna, for setting it up for us.

• Shamelessly yours, becky
