Group Poems
Throughout the year, and especially around special occasions, Our Place participants and staff create group poems. Writing together enables each individual to share their thoughts, feelings, and experiences while building connections as a community.
This process empowers our participants to express themselves and collaborate. It also connects our broader community in inspiring ways.

Anthologies
Think is a writing workshop philosophy club. Our centerpiece is Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey — the idea that we are all the heroes of our own lives — finding, following and creating our paths every day. The following anthology celebrates the work of eight writers, and marks our first year anniversary of Think at Our Place.
Sean W., the resident poet of Our Place, is wise in his works and words. He is a young undiscovered poet who hopes to shine a light in the world with his clever pieces and kind personality. Ultimately, he hopes to become an established writer one day and is currently following the path to get there.
