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.

Steve Smart, President, Melbourne Poets Union

"Melbourne Poets Union is a representative organisation. We don't fit ourselves into one style or one definition of what poetry is. We're for poets, but what are poets for if we're not for people who aren't poets? I would like to focus on that idea in 2016 and and I would like you to think carefully about it too, as a serious question. Never forget that poetry is a responsibility as well as a joy."
