Loosely Identified is a women's poetry writing group based in St. Louis, Missouri.  We have a long history, for a writing group; our roots go back some 30 years.  We are, as our name infers, relatively free of structure and have nevertheless managed to continue through time and maintain a core sense of purpose and continuity.  We support each other's writing.  We frequently give poetry readings, and have been a semi-regular 'event' in the local River Styx poetry reading series. 

Here's our new chapbook, Breathing Out, a compilation of the best of our work.  We wanted to put out something that described who we were as a group, and we liked the idea of being able to leave audiences at our readings with something in hand to remember and reconsider the poems they'd listened to.
