In celebration of National Poetry Month April, 2022:
A chapbook of poetry exploring time and place in WHERE WE RESIDE.
Created/written by a group of eleven writers, Where We Reside is a chapbook of poetry. The group has been gathering almost every other week on Zoom to inspire and support each other. Last September, after some discussion, they came up with the concepts of “body of work” and “where we reside” to explore via their writing.
The result is a body of work by eleven Sooke poets: Where We Reside – Poems of Time & Place

11 Sooke Poets speak of Time & Place in unique individual reflections, exploring physical, emotional and spiritual landscapes - those places WHERE WE RESIDE.
