We, The Poets are a bunch of writers on a mission to share new poetry.
When poetry appears on the radio it sometimes feels like it’s been hidden behind a glass case, or polished to perfection, hiding all the delightful chaos that went into its creation.
We, The Poets are here to rip off that glass case and embrace the mess just as much as the masterpiece it creates!
