Women Poets Collective

Women Poets Collective Reading 6-7-20

The Women Poets Collective was formed in 2015 by Christine Stewart-Nuñez, poet and Professor of English at South Dakota State University, and the current South Dakota Poet Laureate.

Christine was working on a poetry manuscript and wanted feedback, but she was pregnant with her second son and couldn't travel to conferences or workshops. So she gathered a group of women poets who she believed (1) would be generous and supportive but critical reviewers (2) had work in progress for which they would also want feedback; and (3) were available.

The WPC now meets annually to workshop each others' recent projects, and to give a public reading of their work. Eight manuscripts workshopped at the annual WPC gatherings have since been published. In addition, the WPC gives live and virtual readings by invitation.

For information about inviting WPC for readings, contact Christine at Christine.Stewart@sdstate.edu
