The Catholic Writers Guild

If Galileo had said in verse that the world moved, the inquisition might have let him alone.  ~Thomas Hardy

We know that CWG is an organization founded to promote Catholic Arts and Letters. We’d never want to exclude poetry from that group.   I’m Kathryn Cunningham and I’ve volunteered to be your new poetry editor.  Poetry is a different way of thinking, viewing the world.  If any CWG members are “closet poets” we offer you the opportunity to let the sunshine in and submit to our new poetry blog.  So far, the plan is to publish every fourth Sunday for “Poetry Sunday”.  Submissions are welcome at:   poetry@catholicwritersguild.com. Jen Fitz has already given you some parameters in a recent e-mail: “All poems should fit the mission of the guild, pointing us towards higher things – all that is beautiful, thoughtful, reflective, grateful, sorrowful, humorous – the range of wonder to be found in every part of life.”   We look forward to your submissions and the launch for our new “Poetry Sunday” on June 24.
