Women Poets Collective

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 near enough to be available. 

​

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