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 Praise of Journals that Publish Poetry and their Editors


"In a country that highlights Capitalism wherever it can, poetry journals have become a peaceful protest against money first. 

The majority of literary journals in this country(and other countries even more so) are done on a lima bean budget. The editors I know devote late night hours each week to reading, editing, corresponding, fact checking and producing attractive magazines --- with no ad money.
 

In other words: editors are good people. They believe in the radical notion that poetry matters."
