Writers & Books is a Rochester literary center offering writing and poetry classes, workshops, readings, competitions, outreach programs, residency programs, and internships.

Stop by the Poetry Booth (a phone booth that used to dispensing poetry, however they couldn't keep up with the vandals that continue to break parts of it off) located in front of our building. They'd love for you to take a picture of you and your friends in it and e-mail them a copy though. It could make it up on our Facebook page & website. Put "Phone Booth ATTN Chris F" in the subject line.
