Sharing Poetry is a Tumblr for sharing your favorite poems with others. Read the guidelines on the Submit page for more information.

Poetry is a very powerful tool of expression and communication, and part of the intent of Sharing Poetry is to allow for these kinds of evolutions, immersions, dialogues, and learning experiences to take place on a continual basis. Poetry is also an extremely transformative medium; in the words of William Carlos Williams: “It is difficult to get the news from poems, yet men die miserably every day for lack of what is found there.”

Submit as many as you like—the goal at this stage in time is to have at least one poem per day published from as wide a variety of poets as possible. Share your favorite poems with others, follow Sharing Poetry, and encounter new poets along the way. Hopefully we will publish everyone’s submissions in turn over time, but this obviously depends on how many are received.

Note: This is not a place to submit your own poetry, but already published work by poets who are well known as well as those who deserve a wider readership. Personal poetry will not be published here, and those who submit their own poems will be blocked from submitting in the future. Thank you for understanding.

Sharing Poetry was founded by proustitute, and is now maintained by both proustitute and awritersruminations.
