Join The Hive Poetry Collective as they host a special Hive Live! featuring eight poets from Hummingbird Poetry Press, each of whom will read briefly from their current work. The poets are Charles Atkinson, Wilma Marcus Chandler, Rosie King, Maggie Paul, Kim Scheiblauer, David Allen Sullivan, Amber Coverdale Sumrall, and Ken Weisner.
Hummingbird Poetry Press was founded in Santa Cruz in 2002 by Joseph McNeilly and Len Anderson as a collective press whose members were committed to two essential contributions: 1) bringing their varied skills to bear on the tasks essential to publishing full-length collections and 2) encouraging each other to create outstanding books of poetry. McNeilly and Anderson wanted to publish “first books” and launched the press with nine members—each of whom had a first-book manuscript ready. By 2025, Hummingbird Poetry Press will have published 36 full-length collections by 20 Monterey Bay poets.
