Activities
Rochester Poets sends out regular email flyers of area literary events, publishes a monthly newsletter and The Pinnacle Hill Review*, an annual anthology of selected member work. The group maintains a website, a mailing list (informing subscribers of area literary events) which can be joined via the website, and a Blog. Since 2004, Rochester Poets has been a sponsor of the annual Poets Against the War event for the Rochester area. Since 2006, they have co-sponsored annual World Poetry Day and National Poetry Month events which have been held at St. John Fisher College. From April 2007 until September, 2009, they co-sponsored a monthly series of readings at the Anti-War Storefront of the Peace, Action & Education Committee of Rochester MetroJustice.
Since 2007, Rochester Poets has also sponsored an Emerging Poets event in December of each year at St. John Fisher College. The event is open to poets of all ages; the primary criterion for eligibility is that participants are not yet "established" with a published volume of poems or had a significant number of poems appear in literary journals. The group also hosts the Free Speech Zone series held on the 1st, 2nd, 4th and (if there is one) 5th Tuesday at the Tango Cafe in Rochester.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“If it is to be done well, child-rearing requires, more than most activities of life, a good deal of decentering from one’s own needs and perspectives. Such decentering is relatively easy when a society is stable and when there is an extended, supportive structure that the parent can depend upon.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“When mundane, lowly activities are at stake, too much insight is detrimental—far-sightedness errs in immediate concerns.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“Juggling produces both practical and psychological benefits.... A woman’s involvement in one role can enhance her functioning in another. Being a wife can make it easier to work outside the home. Being a mother can facilitate the activities and foster the skills of the efficient wife or of the effective worker. And employment outside the home can contribute in substantial, practical ways to how one works within the home, as a spouse and as a parent.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
