Review:
Laura Riding Jackson Foundation's mission is to maintain and preserve the home and work of this Florida poet who was both mentor to young poets and an advocate for all things literary. Many diverse programs produced throughout the year earmark poetry, literature, and history. Cracker Tales is the oral history of local ranchers, pioneers, and citrus growers from the Indian River County.
There are free Teen Writers Workshops offered to youth in the community, including lessons in College Essay Writing, a monthly Poetry Open Mic Night, adult writing workshops, partnerships with local artistic organizations and the very popular Spring event of Poetry and BBQ, which is held at the Laura Riding Jackson home in honor of National Poetry Month. It features many poets such as Carol Frost, Sean Sexton, and Rick Campbell.
