i recently earned a very generous grant for my poetry, moved to the bay and i'm trying to join an existing writers collective or start a troupe consisting of queer writers of all disciplines in the bay area. looking for writers with something different to say who can also deliver their messages in a unique way. people of color and members of the entire queer spectrum, not just gays and lesbians, are especially encouraged to email me, dewaynedickerson@hotmail.com - i'm hoping to host a meeting in downtown oakland by the end of the month with a core group of interested individuals. please be a confident and quality writer
