Anthology Details
Member Feedback
Trish Shields, CFP member - "Having a place to enjoy poetry, both online and in a
magazine makes words come alive. The interaction, the feedback, and
the joy of sharing poetry/prose make societies like the Canadian Federation of Poets so very
worthwhile. Thanks so much."
Valdeck Almeida de Jesus, CFP member - "Well, till the day I
found this site and become a member of Canadian Federation of Poets, I was nothing.
Now I have my work shown in a place where lots of people read and send me
feedback and let me know if I write good or not. Thanks to CFP and its members, as well as everyone who make this site works."
Read more AND submit yours!

Happy Canada Day, Happy 4th of July, and Happy any other day that
involves celebrating something - because life is worth
celebrating, especially if poetry is involved.
Is it just me, or is it HOT!
So even though many of us are in areas where
we are melting, I want to make sure we keep on reading, writing and
reciting our work.
We have completed our move - at least physically. We still need to
unpack many boxes, and get back into forward motion - but we are
ready.
Visit the forums and keep in contact with poets and friends, submit
to Poetry Canada magazine, and write down a few goals to keep you
motivated and moving toward your destiny.
If you have any questions,
feel free to send me an email.
Tracy Lynn Repchuk President and Founder of the Canadian Federation of Poets
