The place we meet in rain-soaked coats, Where imagination can take hold. The place where I come to be me, where I come to reflect on life. This is the Place where dreams come true, where communities come together.

This is the place where I therapize, where we share our stories too. Excerpt from the group’s collaborative poem, This is the Place. https://newwritingnorth.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/This-is-the-Place.pdf
