The Watering Hole – Building Harlem Renaissance Spaces in the Contemporary South

We build Harlem Renaissance spaces in the Contemporary South. #TWHpoetry #TWHtribe. Readings. Workshops. Classes. Teaching Artists. We build Harlem Renaissance spaces in the new contemporary South In essence, TWH is 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–anyone who wants to grow in the craft. The Watering Hole was created as a Facebook Group by fellows of the Cave Canem South Workshops. We draw much of our inspiration from those three-day workshops, which were hosted by Dr. Kwame Dawes, editor of Prairie Schooner. The sessions were led by Nikky Finney, a National Book Award winner; Patricia Smith, who was inducted into the International Literary Hall of Fame for Writers of African Descent, and Frank X Walker, co-founder of the Affrilachian Poets. TWH unapologetically invests in pursuing the craft of writing.
