The Greenville Poets, a group of six writers from southwest Ohio (Myrna Stone, Cathryn Essinger, David Lee Garrison, Suzanne Kelly, Belinda Rismiller, Aimee Noel), have been writing, publishing, and supporting each others’ creative efforts since 1986. They have 16 books in print, have received OAC grants, won numerous literary awards, and have publications in many prestige journals, such as Poetry, Michigan Quarterly, and The Antioch Review. Although their voices are all very different–ranging from formal literary work, to social commentary–they are most proud of their literary friendship, and they will be happy to share what it takes to keep a writers group motivated and productive through the years.
