What stirs you up?
With midterm elections and Thanksgiving on the horizon, November can be a particularly stirring time of year.
Politics, family, memories, traditions, love, loss, faith, and pop culture—along with all the complicated feelings that come with them—often rise to the surface.
This evening takes inspiration from Stir (2026), a poetry collection that explores the many things that unsettle, inspire, amuse, haunt, and move us.
Its poems wander through forests, memories, dreams, Hollywood, and unexpected places, shifting between the witty, thoughtful, quirky, and darkly humorous.
Our featured speaker, Christopher J. Jarmick, will share work and insights from Stir, guiding us as we explore what gets stirred up in our own lives and on the page.
Share your poetry or prose for discussion and feedback at our free monthly critique group on Zoom. Second Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. (Pacific Time).
A little wordplay. A little holiday magic. A whole lot of creative connection.
Let’s celebrate the season the PPN way—with words, laughter, storytelling, and community!
Join Poetry & Prose Network for a festive gathering where snowballs fly, secret words sneak into conversations, and ordinary moments spark extraordinary stories. Whether you love writing poetry, spinning tales, meeting fellow creatives, or simply soaking up the holiday spirit, there’s a place for you here.
