In this episode, we will get to know of the wonderful community that is Taipei Poetry Collective (TPC)! You’ll hear from the director and co-founder of Taipei Poetry Collective, Leora Joy Jones. Leora shares with us how Taipei Poetry Collective started, the wonderful people who make this community possible, and the behind-the-scenes of their most recent event, One Nite Only. Leora also talks about what inspired some of her earlier poems in childhood (mermaids and surfers?!) and how poetry could help us understand and process our emotions. Towards the end, you’ll get to hear Leora reciting one of her poems for us.

Taipei Poetry Collective was established in 2017, and has held over 170 workshops in the past seven years. TPC offers in-person poetry workshops twice a month. They host live poetry events in addition to critique, generative, and developmental workshops.
