A Little Bit About Us

We meet at The Bellville Perk coffeehouse, on the third Monday of each month at 1:00 p.m.

Our goals are to promote poetry in our community, to encourage the writing and improvement of poetry by sharing and mutual critiquing, and to work toward publishing a collection of the members' poetry.

In support of our goals, we conduct periodic poetry contests and have published a chapbook with submissions from our members. We have also published a collection of poems by members and others in celebration of Bellville's 175th anniversary: Times Remembered.

When we meet, we share any poetry we have been working on, or something older, perhaps. Sometimes, we just read a poem we like from a well-known poet!

The Bellville Perk is located at

The following publications are available locally at The Story Peddler bookstore in Bellville, TX.

• A Chapbook -- Reflections -- containing selections from members
• Times Remembered -- a collection of poetry of and about Bellville's 175th anniversary
