We publish essays from writers from all backgrounds and experience. We aim to answer questions readers new to poetry & long-time poetry lovers alike ask about poems by living poets: How does this poem work? How is it crafted? What does it matter? With so much poetry around, why should I spend my time reading this? What does this mean?!! The goal is to open up the world of a poem for the average reader, who may or may not already be a lover of contemporary poetry. Our mandate is to foster the reading of living, contemporary poetry."
