Contemporary Poetry

Are you a poet or publishing house that is interested in sharing your poetry on our app? We'd love to hear from you! Please send us an e-mail: [email protected].

Helping Poets Get Paid

Part of our mission as an organization is to help pay poets and publishing houses. As of May 2024, we are paying $25/poem when adding a poem to our app. In addition, any poet who is featured during the year will be eligible for that year's readers' choice poetry prize.
(These numbers may change in the future, but as of May 2024 they are the standard contract we've offered to all partners.)
