Columbus, Ohio is one of the largest cities in the midwest in spread and population.
We cover ___ miles of land proper and house approximately 700,000 citizens,
not counting outlying areas and nearby cities such as Dayton, Cinncinnati and everything in between.
Celveland is the furthest large city from Columbus and it is only 2-hours away.

Columbus is a wildly diverse community, filled to the brim with artists, bands, politicians, activists,
businesses of every stripe, college students and more. It's poetry scene is broad-ranging and
respectable, with poetry nights running 4 out of 7 nights a week sometimes. Our city is home to
the largest independent publisher of poetry in the country - Pudding House - and we are home to
no less than 6 colleges and universities.
