LET'S BECOME TRIBE
Our Tribe
The Watering Hole invests in pursuing the craft of poetry. We are a home where poets of color in the South can learn and grow at each others’ feet.
As a multiethnic, intergenerational, intersectional Tribe, we meet poets at every level from Slam to Ph.D to beginner, from Gwendolyn Brooks scholar to Kendrick Lama afficionado, from retiree to grade school student.
We uphold the value of both spoke and written poetic traditions, and bring together poets working in a myriad of forms and styles.
Our porgram spaces provide a unique opportunity for financially accessible, high-caliber poetry instruction for populations historically under-supported and under-represented in the literary field.
WE SEE YOU TRIBE
Our Tribe
The Watering Hole Poetry Fellowship is a deep roster of brilliant poets of color who create in real time.
We are TWH Tribe-a communion of poets reach for a goal together, who accept, support, and encourage each other, who open safe spaces for trust, honesty, and risk, who love, love, love each other freely and forgive each other without hesitation, who uplife and hold accountable, who bring peace and stand in solidarity, who celebrate and mourn together, who adher to the belief that when one of us wins, we all win, family beyond blood.
