High Plains Poetry Project

Our High Plains Poetry Project is sponsored by WT's Department of English, Philosophy, and Modern Languages, and forms a part of a regular series of informal writing presentations and workshops offered on the fourth Thursday of every month, 7pm, at the Burrowing Owl Bookstore, in Canyon.  We also have meetings at the Burrowing Owl in Amarillo. We welcome those who are seasoned writers and those who are just getting started. Come by and share your work with us!

Happy Writing!
