Who are we?
We’re creatives who enjoy reading, writing, and immersing ourselves in art. We believe that art is good; whether it is poetry, a piece of fine music, a thoughtful painting, or anything that speaks/gives space for silence. We know that it is good. We understand that art and storytelling bring consciousness, action, and balance to selves, souls, spirits, and worlds.
There can be no shortage of media to enable these forms of expression.
Why we are here
At our core, we are dedicated to showcasing the abundant talent thriving within the Commonwealth, celebrating the beauty of language and the power of storytelling. Our goal is to recognize individual poets and cultivate a sense of belonging and pride within the larger community.
We recognize that every creative work is as distinct as the artist, and we hold authenticity, originality, and innovation in high regard.
