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.

We also have three Facebook groups:
- Verse-Virtual -- www.facebook.com/groups/versevirtual . This is the place to post news of your publications, career, calls for submissions, and so on.
- V-V TALK -- www.facebook.com/groups/v-v-talk . Tom Montag is moderator. This s where we have discussions about poetry and poetics David Graham is moderator.
- We also have a new group, V-V SHMOOZE, that is like a chat group -- informal and pleasant. www.facebook.com/groups/v-v-shmooze
