We are a nonprofit literary organization based in Springfield

, Illinois, home of our 16th U.S. president Abraham Lincoln. We are prou

Our goal is to inspire and support the literary arts.

 Since 1999, our annual teen poetry anthology, Navigating the Maze, has reac
hed teens, their families and friends, and others around the world.

Springfield Poets & Writers is partnering with The Pharmacy Gallery (623 East Adams, Springfield, Illinois 62701), to write about artworks on display in the gallery. For more information, visit the event page.
