We bring together poets and spoken word artists from diverse background, abilities, ages and genders, seeking community to strengthen our practices as writers.
“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
The focus is to weave together the threads of a supportive community so that we can develop new habits as well as grow & learn from each other.
Promoting You and Being Seen Internationally
We live stream poetry and spoken word events to our members who might never see your work, so that you can stay connected to your community… the world over!
We also bring together experienced, new and emerging and mid career artists who wish to support each other through blocks in their writing practice.
Our Code of Care ensures our ethos of support through every level of your journey to becoming a professional Poet and Spoken Word Artist.
Buddy Systems and Mentoring
Our community exists to inspire poetic writing, poetry, diversify artists perspective, and ensure mutual respect, regardless of background.
Poets Built It is here to hold space for you who are at a transitional phase in your creative lives or poetry and spoken word careers in a way that empowers& inspires.

We look forward to you joining us on Poets Built It!
