The Talking Stick Jackpine Writers Bloc

The Talking Stick is a publication of the nonprofit organization, The Jackpine Writers' Bloc, Inc. The JWB was founded over twenty years ago by a group of people who loved to write and wanted to get published. They created the first volumes of The Talking Stick, starting out small and using various local publishers and editors. The book began with poems and stories from just the Park Rapids/Menahga/Nevis area. Our book now includes writers from the whole state of Minnesota as well as writers who have a strong connection to Minnesota.
