A writing group in Denver.

The Poets Den is a community centered on creative expression and connection, most often through the lens of poetry. We gather to read and discuss inspiring works. We write beside one another with the opportunity to share. We support each other as we explore the freedom and vulnerability of creative impulse.

This group is free and open to all levels of writing experience.

Upcoming groups

  • February 26, 2025

  • March 2025 TBD

We welcome everyone.

You do not have to be a professional writer, avid reader, or English major to join The Poets Den. Whether you call yourself a writer or have only ever known blank page, you are welcome and encouraged.

The purpose of this group is to spark inspiration, steep in creative energy, and connect over the nuanced tenderness that poetry brings to life. If you happen to get some writing out of it, phenomenal.

"I imagine poets stitching the world together. Long silver threads of text. Lines prompting reading, dreaming minds not to see every thing by itself and separate, but to see the seams often unseen in the dark expanses across space and time. This is, perhaps, a kind of sorcery. A power not to wield, but to hold. To practice holding." — Ellie A. Rogers
