Writers included in the anthology meet monthly at the Center For The Creative Arts, located in historic Fredericksburg, Virginia. They are part of a Poetry Workshop sponsored by the Center as part of its dedication to offering its patrons the best of written and visual arts. Provocative exhibits of fine art, photography, sculpture, ceramics, and other crafts displayed in the Center’s galleries are often an inspirational stimulus for the poets/artists featured in “A Gathering of Poets.” Biographies for each of the contributing writers and artists are included on pages 175-177
