About Laurel
The Laurel Poetry Collective is a gathering of Twin Cities poets and graphic artists, dedicated to publishing beautiful, affordable books, chapbooks, and broadsides.
Established in 2002, the Collective’s goal was to produce full-length books and broadsides by each of its 20 poet members, as
well as annual anthologies. That goal was met in 2007, and celebrated with a reading at the Minneapolis Public Library, as part of their “Talk of the Stacks” series.
The Collective continues to sell its publications through this Web site. We also continue to share our voices through readings. For more information on our work, or to schedule a reading, please contact us.
