Uplift Poetry thrives on poetic reciprocity and connection. They are non-competitive and community-focused.

They want to inspire and empower poets no matter where you are on your poetry journey. They want to help lower the barriers to entry that you face in poetry.

​They believe poetry should be for everyone.

​They aim to raise the voices of marginalised, underrepresented and disempowered poets and creatives, including First Nations, LGBTQIA+, refugee, disabled and working class poets, and poets of colour.
