Who we are & What we do





We are a spiritually directed organization created in 1998, with a desire to honor and encourage the youth of America in pursuits poetic.


We believe this endeavor to be a journey of faith, necessary for us to undertake because of the burden placed upon our hearts for youth and their experiences in today’s society.


We intend to lift up and honor young poets, to encourage them to continue into higher levels of education, and to provide a forum for young poets to showcase their work and to make their voices heard through their poetry.


JUST POETRY!!!
