Twitter Poetry Contest
Of all the global communities for art, Twitter allows a conversational space for poetry. The connections we make online and through networks such as school support the fellowship our work thrives on. Writers can’t always travel or afford academia, but the internet welcomes everyone. So we’re bringing the community to them, taking flight to the Twittersphere and opening up our mission of giving voice to those have been underrepresented or historically misrepresented and/or writing that engages with issues of social, economic, and environmental justice. Enjoy this smorgasbord of flavors.
