About Poety Matters

Poetry Matters is a home-grown print poetry journal that began in Spring 2006.

Censorship can take many forms. The inability to find a place of publication can be social censorship.

Poetry is freedom. Anyone can write poetry.

Nevertheless, it takes a lot of work to create the poetry that reaches the places only poetry knows.

Whoever you are, wherever you are, Poetry Matters welcomes you as readers and writers.

"The finest poetry affects the parts of the mind that other forms of art simply don't reach, though I can't explain exactly how this happens. 'Genuine poetry,' argued T. S. Eliot, 'can communicate before it is understood.' I would describe the impact of poetry to being unexpectedly under the influence of an emotion, such as falling in love. And if we knew what love was, then it would cease to exist."
from In prose of poetry, The Age, 16 January 2005.
