THE SONOMA STATEMENT

An Interactive Poetry Forum

'Tis true: there's magic in the web of it.
A sibyl, that had number'd in the world
The sun to course two hundred compasses,
In her prophetic fury sew'd the work.

Othello III, iv

THE SONOMA STATEMENT began in 1995 as a live forum for poets in Sonoma State University's Poetry Writing workshop to read
and comment upon each others' works-in-progress.
At present, these pages are for poets in the Write Here/Write Now workshop which now meets off-campus at the Sitting Room in Cotati, Ca.

The Write Here/Write Now poetry workshop begins 17 March 1999 at the Sitting Room in Cotati.
