Welcome home!
At The Poetry Cove Forum, we are dedicated to bringing together poets from all over the world. We believe that poetry can be a powerful tool for connection and community, and we want you to have a place where you can explore your craft in an environment that is friendly, welcoming, and supportive.
We are committed to providing this space for you because we believe that everyone deserves a chance to express themselves creatively and share their work with others who share their interests.
We hope you will join us in creating an open-minded, accepting, and supportive community of people who can help each other grow as poets.

We're always told not to judge a book by it's cover (a sentiment I fully agree with) but what are some book covers that you love? Even books that you hate can have amazing covers. Post your favourites below.
To kick things off, here are some of my favourites:
Interesting questions! If there's a specific author/book I was already interested in, I'm not concerned about covers at all. Although we often say we shouldn't judge a book by its cover, the cover inevitably communicates something about the material and the author themselves (provided it wasn't created by the publisher's art department). Sometimes a good book goes unnoticed, and I'm not sure if that's the fault of a cover or where it was positioned on the shelf. Sometimes a cover will not match my expectations based solely on the title and description, and I'll be put off. But overall, if I flip through and read something worthwhile, I'll almost always give it a chance.
Just as a fun spin off topic: how much do you think a book cover affects the chances of you buying a book? Specifically poetry. As in: would a collection of beautiful poetry still have the same beauty with a bland cover? Alternatively, would a book of shall we say 'less beautiful' poetry be better with an amazing cover?
Wow, there are some fantastic covers here!
OMG, such beautiful book covers. "Encyclopedia of a broken heart", I love that one the most. 💖🌼
