Poetry

[close] Gutenberg Camacho is a contemporary writer and poet whose work freely moves between philosophical reflection, scientific exploration, and human introspection. This group is dedicated to readers who are interested in contemporary poetry, deep thinking, and discussions about the nature of existence. Members are welcome to read, discuss, and analyze poetic works while exploring ideas related to the universe, human psychology, and philosophy. It is a space for thoughtful dialogue, literary interpretation, and creative exchange. The goal of this group is to build a community of readers and thinkers who enjoy engaging with literature, science, philosophy, and imagination. This group also welcomes discussions about works such as POEMAS (LMentus) and other related literary projects.

[close] We're here because we like reading and we like chatting about reading. But we are here especially because we strongly believe that reading is not just something we do alone, but something that can unite people of different kinds, all over the world! This group really is all about books! In terms of group reads we have a monthly fiction book and a bi-monthly group read of a classic. We feature dedicated sections for non-fiction, poetry, short stories and drama. We also have weekly poetry postings (the Monday Poem). Quarterly there is a group discussion of non-fiction books in which members are encouraged to read books that relate to a specific theme and another theme for short stories. We feature a yearly challenge which varies from year to year in form. In addition, we have a section for people to post their yearly personal challenges and books read during the year.

[close] 𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗯𝘂𝗰𝗸𝘀. There are two arms to our publishing house, Better Than Starbucks Poetry & Fiction Journal and Better Than Starbucks Publications. If you love good hot brews (coffee, teas, infusions, or just the concept of hot brews) coupled with great books and sharp wit, and if diverse and eclectic poets and authors, past and present, excite you——that is to say, if you love a good read——then please join us. As bookaholics, we aren’t interested in any 12-step programs, except maybe programs where we get to read new books. We love our addiction, and encourage you to indulge too—while enjoying your favorite hot brew. Please be courteous, kind, and respectful to others when conversing. Let's celebrate diversity and learn more about each other. Attacks on young, slow, or otherwise disadvantaged players will not be tolerated. We encourage sharp, pointed (but clever) comments between equals. No partisan politics. No salaciousness. No sordidity (but well used profanity is okay). No proselytizing beliefs and ideologies, though discussion about them is welcome. Throw stones at issues, ideas, concepts, systems good and bad——NOT at names and parties. We want to have serious intellectual discussions that generate light, not just heat, though some sparks may fly and heat is generated where there is light. By serious, we don't mean that we ALWAYS need high-brow conversations—no way. We are serious about having fun and enjoying all kinds silliness, puns, smart aleck humor, and other ridiculous banter.
