Welcome to the West Coast Poetry Tour.  The vision of one woman with a mini van and her artist friends and beloveds with the desire to connect with the inherit beauty in people through poems, music and songs

Pre pandemic, promises of interesting house parties, community gatherings and weekend workshops got the minivan rolling as far south as San Diego and up north to Seattle and beyond for solo shows and collaborations with other poets, singer/songwriters, musicians, drummers and dancers.

The West Coast Poetry Tour may launch again.  For now, this website is being used to share postings that help bring people together to share and care about the state of humanity in the United States and the effects of our actions around the world.
