Little sales ladies little sales ladies little saddles of mutton.

Suppose An Eyes takes its name from a portrait in Gertrude Stein’s "Tender Buttons."

We were formed in 1999 as part of the Kelly Writers House of the University of Pennsylvania. We meet two Tuesday evenings per month at the Kelly Writers House, 3805 Locust Walk, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Our goal is to provide a workshop for poets to explore, share and improve their work as part of a supportive community of writers.

The group is open to anyone interested in writing poetry–those who write any type of poetry. The group style varies from traditional forms to "found" poetry, flarf, and even computer-generated poetry.

In addition to workshop meetings, Suppose An Eyes participates in readings at various locations in the greater Philadelphia area.
