LOVE IS … 2024 Community Poem

Through the month of February, we had asked our writing community to write what LOVE IS in their own words in about one line or so. This includes responses from every workshop we ran, every event we participated in, staff, and social media.

We then strung all of the responses together into one giant collaborative community poem. Below is our 2024 LOVE IS poem by the Project Write Now writing community … We hope you enjoy it!
