Verse-Virtual is a special place.  Unusual, to be sure.  I imagine you won't find anything quite like it elsewhere on the Internet.

We are a community first.  And then we are a journal.  In the beginning the community came out of the journal.  Now the journal comes out of the community.

Here, the focus is on kindness.  Kindness and care.  These, plus a bit of reading and writing make for what has become a virtual family.  A large one.  

The process couldn't be simpler:  

Readers read the poems and articles in the journal. When they come across ones they like they write emails to the authors to tell them.  Communication happens; friendships develop.

V-Vs also write short reviews of poems they like and send them out to all the persons on the current-month's email list of contributors.  

Our Facebook group page www.facebook.com/groups/versevirtual is a good place to post notices of publications and other news; another special feature of the FB page is that it provides members (who don't have to be published in the journal) with a venue for personal posts (so we can get to know each other better) and conversations on various aspects of poetry.
