POET'S LIBRARY
The Poet's Library is a collection of works from intrigued readers, budding new talents as well as professional poets. This section of the platform was designed to be a safe space for those who wanted to share their work with their names, under monikers or completely anonymous. If there are any pieces or writers that you particularly connect with, let us know. We always try and relay comments back to the poet!
