In
1973, a small group of poets got together in the Princeton, NJ area to
share their poetry. From this nucleus of poetry lovers came the
long-standing U.S.1 Poets’ Cooperative. Some of the original
poets are still involved in the Cooperative; others have gone on to
establish fine reputations in the literary world, but continue to
submit work to the journal.
U.S. 1 Worksheets, the
annual journal of the Cooperative, has published
55 volumes of poetry showcasing poets from the Cooperative as well as
the best work that comes to us from poets all over the States and, in
the current issue, from England and the Philippines. We look for
well-crafted, energetic work that says something in a way that we
haven’t heard before.
The Cooperative holds
weekly meetings in various homes in the area;
anyone who wants to share their own work and participate in the
critique process is welcome to attend. (The Cooperative
also sponsors,
in conjunction with the Princeton Public Library, a monthly reading
series, which brings together well-established and emerging poets for a
lively evening of poetry and open mic. |
