The Heart of Our City Exhibition
Southeastern Minnesota Poets (SEMNP) of Rochester, Minnesota welcomes poets of all ages and stages in their writing careers. We foster growth, experience, and understanding of the art of poetry through writing, reading, and discussion.
SEMNP seeks to provide poets and poetry lovers living in southeastern Minnesota with opportunities to connect, by offering meetings and workshops to share poems and hone craft, and by promoting poetry through readings, contests, literary festivals, and other poetry events. SEMNP sees education as a necessary offshoot of its mission.

Bright Light Stories in the Night
During the early days of the pandemic, SEMNP wanted to create a virtual event that would bring our community together despite the distance COVID created. Bright Light Stories in the Night – a virtual reading of a special e-chapbook featuring poetry by local poets illustrated by local artists – did just that.
