Who We Are

 

Island Verse Creative Writers' Labs are Adult Education poetry, flash fiction, and drama workshops that meet once a week at the Swan's Island Lighthouse.  On-line sections will be available soon.  

Keeper's House Writer Residency is a one week residency in June six miles off the northeast coast of Maine at the newly renovated Burnt Coat Harbor Light Station, a historic light station located at the entrance to Burnt Coat Harbor, Swan's Island.  The Keeper's House Residency offers 360 degree views, scenic trails, a working waterfront, and solitude for producing your art.  
Island Verse Editions offers five chapbook prizes: Lily's Pond Poetry Prize, Island Verse Poetry Prize, Mackerel Cove Poetry Prize, Blackrock Poetry Prize, and Atlantic Road Poetry.  Winners receive chapbook publication by Island Verse Editions, $250 honorarium, and 10 contributor copies.  
Coaching & Editing: Creative coaching brings out the best in beginning and experienced writers. Contact Island Verse for an editor who will review your manuscript, identify English correctness issues, and provide you with personalized feedback geared toward your writing needs.

"Without words, without writing and without books there would be no history, there could be no concept of humanity."  --Hermann Hesse

"A word after a word after a word is power."  --Margaret Atwood

"Writing is a job, a talent, but it's also the place to go in your head.  It is the imaginary friend you drink your tea with in the afternoon."  --Ann Patchett

"Be obscure clearly."  --E.B. White
