The Poet Warriors Project

The Poet Warriors Project

Our students are telling their stories & fighting for their rights through poetry. Will you listen? A shared story can affect great change in the world.

The Poet Warriors Project is an initiative dedicated to helping young, diverse, and historically underrepresented writers utilize poetry as a medium to explore identity, and then write and share original stories in order to teach, empower, and create change in the world. The project publishes students at www.poetwarriorsproject.org and encourages all audiences to turn an ear to our nation’s youth and Poet Warriors, so that together we can affect change.
