Spot of Poetry is a poetry appreciation group for those who find real joy in words & the people that gather around them. We’re the home of the Little Books Collective – a community-building micropress based in Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia.

Spot of Poetry is on the Air!
We are grateful to Alice Burdick for inviting us to share a conversation on the radio show and podcast, Poets Welcome!
We talked about how SPOT got started and the unexpected role the pandemic played to create a thriving poetry community that includes a sharing library and a micropress, Little Books Collective.
