In 2019, we launched the Free Verse Residency, a self-directed residency for poets.
The residency costs $250 per week, but there are also other associated expenses for poets, such as transportation costs, food costs, childcare costs, etc.
To make this residency available to more folks, we invite you to become a Residency Sponsor. Your contribution will go towards funding a residency for someone who cannot afford the full price.
No one becomes a poet to make money; our calling to do this work has nothing to do with financial gain. However, writing poems (and revising them, submitting them, re-submitting them, etc.) requires time, attention, and energy--and therefore, money.
Thank you for supporting working poets.
