In the quiet spaces between stanzas, where words find their rhythm, poets have a unique gift for capturing the essence of our shared human experience.

 

Within the PSV community, we've been fortunate to call some of these gifted souls our own. They were our mentors. Friends sharing laughter, tears, and countless conversations about the power of language. The voices in our meetings. Passionate advocates for the written word. And the steady pillars of our poetry society. 

​

In this space, we remember and honor member poets who have passed away as a way of reflecting on the profound impact they've had on our lives and the world of poetry at-large. Their words continue to resonate, inspire us all, and forge connections that transcend the boundaries of life and death.

​

We remember not only their words but also their ever presence within our poetry community.
