Welcome to Poems.Ink
Poems.ink is an email poetry club started by Andrew and Edlyn. We both love reading poetry, and we're hoping to discover work we haven't seen, and to better appreciate the poems we're already reading.
In each issue, a member of the group picks a poem they like, and says a bit about why they like it. In the following issue, the community responds to the poem and commentary with their own thoughts.
