TESTIMONIALS
I had the good fortune to find out about the North Florida Poetry Hub this year. Being a member of this chapter has brightened up a difficult year. Our chapter president offered a warm welcome to me, and then to two poet friends of mine. The online zoom meetings give us a chance to share our writings and hear others do the same. Guest speakers encourage us to keep creating and sharing. ~ Sally Wahl-Constain
North Florida Poetry Hub has given me a purpose in life. I was looking for a local chapter of the Florida State Poets Association to join, and when Steffani Fletcher of Hope At Hand organized North Florida Poetry Hub I signed up under her charter right away! Since then it has been a wonderful four years of continued personal and professional growth. I enjoy working with all the awesome people involved in this great organization from State to the local levels and have made many great friends along the way. ~ Ruth Van Alstine, Jacksonville, Florida
"North Florida Poetry Hub is a great resource for writers and poetry lovers of all kinds. They offer a variety of workshops to enhance your skills and offer a friendly, supportive atmosphere for both new and experienced authors. Kudos to Ruth - The Florida Poetry Fairy - and her partners for all they do to advance the art of poetry throughout our local communities." ~ Loretta M. Leto, Poet and PAM Jam Coordinator
"The NFPH gatherings have given me the impetus to experiment in a variety of different writing styles, especially in these most un-motivating of times!. The friendly but honest feedback is welcome and useful. I will soon become a member." -- Chris Kastle, St Augustine, Florida
In April 2026 I started my membership with the NFPH and FSPA. It has been a wonderful experience in my writing life. I have met poets and writers who are so kind. I have attended very good virtual workshops, open mic readings and learned very much. I have been a poet since age twelve writing Spanish free verse poetry and an Essayist since 2020. Now I am writing in English. I am an Author and Self-Publisher. I am so grateful for this awesome opportunity. Thank you so much to all of you, especially to Poet Ruth Van Alstine. ~ Mónica Lucia Arcila Restrepo, Medellín, Colombia
The North Florida Poetry Hub has rekindled my love for poetry again! I continue to learn new things from each workshop and meeting. Ruth Van Alstine, President, has a real love for the craft, and her expertise spills over to all who are involved. I am so happy to be part of North Florida Poetry Hub, and I look forward to the next meeting!
