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.

Life Saving

'Her early poetry did not come easily to Plath, who during their marriage, Ted Hughes said, "composed very slowly, consulting her Thesaurus and dictionary for almost every word, putting a slow strong line of ink under each word that attracted her." ... She had a "vision" of the kind of poems she would like to write but "[I] do not. When will they come?" They were waiting.'
Josephine Hart, 2012, Life Saving: Why we need poetry, Virago Press, UK.
