FORUM

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.

The Poetry Recommendation Train

in Poetry Discussion

Hello! Happy Monday Covers!

I had a quick search in the forum and couldn't see anything along these lines so I hope I'm not repeating.

One of the things I love about attending poetry workshops is that I learn about poets who I might not have found on my own. So I thought it might be fun for us to create our own list of poetry themed recommendations: poets, poems, collections, podcasts, performances. Anything poetry themed. You can give a brief description about why you love that thing so much or you can leave it as a list.

I'll start. Some recommendations for me are:

What We Are Given by Ollie O'Neill (phenomenal collection. I cried so many times!)

Miss You. Would Like To Take A Walk With You by Gabrielle Calvocoressi

Ode to Spring Awakening by Sabrina Benaim (This is my poem. By 'my poem', I mean the poem I read over and over again to remind myself that I'm in a good place.)

I can't wait to see what you recommend :)
