Welcome to the Journal

The Poplar & Prose Journal is a collection of original stories, seasonal recipes, and conversations with the people who make up our little corner of the literary community. From Five Questions (coming soon) and author spotlights to essays inspired by books and the everyday, each piece is written to be enjoyed with a good cup of coffee and, we hope, revisited often.
