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.

Some footage of the great American poet Jefferson Hansen.

in Poetry Discussion

I am publishing a book by Jefferson Hansen next spring titled The Figments Are Here at my book publishing project Post-Asemic Press. The book will come out in 2023. Jeff was a student of the late great poet Robert Creeley. We hang out weekly at The Northeast Tea House here in Minneapolis. I made a short video of Jeff drinking tea: https://youtu.be/qvRGtQpJwY8 Below is a poem from 100 Hybrids, the first book of poetry by Jeff that I published.

It's a relatively simple poem about the modern plights of writers, in't it. Would make a great introductory poem for a collection/chapbook I think.

Spotify, from what I've heard, is a decent platform for artists (namely podcasts and musicians), but not sure how well it has been working for poets of the oral persuasion. And we all know that Facebook is wretched.

I do kind of wonder what all these symbols mean?
