December 21, 2017 — Red Book Poetry Community
The Red Book Poetry Community has been meeting on Whidbey Island since 2010. Seven members meet monthly to share new work, often in response to a given assignment. The group seeks to experience how poetry creates the self in the solitary act of reading and writing and to experience how that catharsis radically changes us as a community of poets. See Facebook event page.
Readers: Daniel Edward Moore, Laura Coe Moore, Bill Skubi, and Janis Skubi
Daniel Edward Moore’s poems have been published in journals such as The Spoon River Poetry Review, Rattle, Columbia Journal, Phoebe, Western Humanities Review, and others. His work has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize.
Laura Coe Moore lives on Whidbey Island with the poet Daniel Edward Moore. She has been published in Blast Furnace Review, The Coe Review, and Narrative Northeast Literary Review.
Bill Skubi credits his abiding passion for poetry to Sally Bryan, inspirational writing teacher at Roosevelt High School. After studying and teaching at Brown, Oxford, and Berlin, he lives on Whidbey Island with his wife Janis.
Janis Skubi lives on Whidbey Island where she finds inspiration from the beauty and mystery of the natural world around her. She lives there with her husband and son, three sheep, and a rat terrier.
