thursday morning poets
featuring poets Megha Sood, Judy Trupin, Maria Lisella, Luvon Roberson, Beth Evans, Melva C. Lewis, and J.A Forgione.
The dozen Thursday Morning Poets (TMP) members first met at a virtual workshop with Queens Poet Laureate Maria Lisella in January 2021. Writers in the group continue to meet weekly. They have varied styles and themes in their poetry, but there is a strong emphasis on social justice issues, the environment, and stories that spin out of their personal life histories. Members who are multilingual often include other languages in their writing.
