Exciting news! Our Response Writing Project will be featured in the next issue of Uppercase! Hooray! We can’t possibly wait to get our hands on the next issue! SOON!

Wow, it has been a while since we last posted! The Fourth Response came together during the thick of the pandemic back in August 2021. With adjusting to pandemic life and keeping our lights on, we realized that we never got to officially welcome it on this platform - so here we are playing catchup!

Niki is currently at work on the Fifth Response. Stay tuned!

We are thrilled to announce that our Third Response has landed over here, and we cannot contain our excitement!

Thank you everyone for braving the rain and making this October Gallery Walk extra special as we celebrate the release of the Third Response notecards featuring Marvin Bell, Heather Christle, Matt Hart, Michael Morse, Carl Phillips, Jane Mead, Amanda Nadelberg, Cole Swensen, Robyn Schiff, David Trinidad, Nick Twemlow.

Join us for the opening reception for the upcoming show: “Response Handwriting Project: The Originals.”

On view will be all the handwritten submissions created by the 33 poets who contributed to the project!! We will also be debuting the Third Response notecards!!! All at once! Now that calls for a celebration!!!
