Westland Writes

Westland Writes: a Collection of Local Writing

Westland Writes began in April 2009 as a small poetry book by local authors in celebration of National Poetry Month. Since then, it has grown into an eclectic annual collection of poems and stories from in and around the community of Westland, Michigan. Happy reading and writing!
