Welcome to the online home of the Quick and Dirty Poets: Kendall A. Bell, Rachel Bunting, Anna Evans, Andrea Jazwiecki, Don Kloss and Bruce Niedt.

Our poetry writing group, formed in Spring 2003, meets in the Burlington County area of Southern New Jersey. Our mission statement is:

To provide encouragement and advice, both poetic and practical, to beginning poets who wish to develop their potential, broaden their knowledge of contemporary poets, and eventually to seek publication for their poems.

We schedule regular Open Mic events in Mt. Holly, Southern New Jersey. Check our Events listings and bring a poem or two to share!

In addition to chapbooks of our own work, we edit the literary journal Up & Under. Issue #3 was released in March 2007.

We released our newest chapbook, 3Verse, in December 2006. It is available for $5 through Maverick Duck Press.

Essays by Anna Evans and Rachel Bunting containing practical advice for the beginning poet are available from our Resources page.

Book us for group readings by emailing qndpoets@yahoo.com, or email our members separately: Kendall A. Bell, Rachel Bunting, Anna Evans, Andrea Jazwiecki, Don Kloss and Bruce Niedt to arrange individual appearances.
