This initiative is to save Ruth Stone’s house in Goshen, Vermont from further decay and neglect. The initiative invites volunteers to come and help clean, clear, tear down, and rebuild. Poets are greatly encouraged to take part in this as we set aside time to write or use the letterpress during the visit.

Where once writers, friends and family gathered, we hope to bring back a vibrant, creative community again, and to go further by creating a small press within the house and a space for readings and events.
