The Watering Hole

The Watering Hole (TWH) was created by fellows of the Cave Canem South Workshops. These three-day workshops were hosted by Emmy Award winning Poet and Writer Dr. Kwame Dawes and was first facilitated by himself, National Book Award winner Nikky Finney, Literary Hall of Famer Patricia Smith, and NAACP Image award winner and co-founder of the Affrilachian Poets Frank X Walker. TWH Poetry App helps build our community of Poets/Writers who strive towards the study of the Word. We are a safe space for writers of color without regard for origin, age, gender, sexuality, varied abilities, or religion. In addition, we are equally a home for both written and spoken word artists or anyone who wants to grow in the craft. We come together in this collective to talk craft, share poems, advice, personal stories, and so on in an interpersonal context.
