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.

in the small space

" ... on the second of March, 1959 ... in Columbia Records' 30th Street Studio, New York, Miles Davis was recording his jazz masterpiece Kind of Blue ... I think of it sometimes when I listen to Kind of Blue, how the trumpet player took into the studio with him that day all his anger and pride. How he had been working hard for years, practising his art, learning that genius might lie in the small space allowed to someone between his limitations. How he was ready that day, and the world was ready for him - how simple that sounds and yet how rare it really is. "
