A poetry slam is a performance poetry competition judged by arbitrarily-selected audience members.

Whether you want to come out and participate by performing or by spectating, you …

WE ARE OPEN TO ALL STYLES IF IT RHYMES WE GET SMILES. 'A moth undergoes metamorphosis, To become a beautiful butterfly. Rhyming Poets make melodies. So, why don't you give it a try?' - S. Basu. Rhyming Poetry is the mother of all songs. It calms agitated minds even in adults. It takes extra effort but not extra talent. We want to revive the fine art, sharpen skills. If you are new we will help you. We read, revise and rhyme. We discuss different styles and read famous examples. We learn from fam …

The Boonton NJ Writers Group is an established critique group seeking to add a handful of new members. Our members attend regularly and therefore develop an intimate understanding of each others' work - be it a short story, memoir, novel, or script. Although we love and admire poets, we don't critique poetry. The group meets twice a month on Wednesdays at 8 PM at the Empire Diner in Parsippany. Due to the format of this group where we review three writers often lengthy submissions every other we …

Creativity is having ideas that we bring into physical form. Each of us is given unique creative potentials. As Dr. Caroline Myss so wisely states, “Many people take the very limited view that creativity refers only to the arts, sciences and other noble pursuits. Creative expression is not only alive in our major projects, but also present in the normal course of everyday life -- how we organize our work space or our home, how we prepare our meals, or even how we structure our time.” Take Charge …

Writing, whether for fun or profit, can be a lonely business. That's why it's nice to have other writers to hang out with, share what we're working on and, basically, keep us company while we write. I often find it hard to stick with a writing assignment at home, and have often thought "Wouldn't it be great to have a writing buddy to work alongside, each on our own project?" That's what I hope Writing with Friends can be for us all. A way to set aside time to either meet and share, write just fo …

                             Love to go to see indie and foreign films and then talk about them afterward? Me, too!   Hi, I'm Francesca, an indie filmmaker and trans-media artist who lived in Manhattan for 25 years and thought nothing of calling a friend and suggesting we meet in an hour at one of the many arthouse theaters around town. But, when I moved to NJ I found my friends here did NOT share my tastes so I created the NJ ArthouseFilm Society (just to sound fancy). And, wouldn't you know i …
