Encourage New Poets Young, Old & In-Between

It's wonderful to know that there are more opportunities and forums to encourage new poets of all ages to be published and heard. In our super-sonic paced society so few of us take time out to read poetry anymore or even listen to each others words....New words, new thoughts, new ideas...new ways to understand each other. Our ever changing world has changed again, just when we were getting comfortable. We face many uncertainties, war, unemployment,....art, music,poetry can be a tonic for some of this confusion. New books celebrating new poets, afford us the chance to listen to those who may share our thoughts and through the dialoge of poetry help us find our own inner balance in this unbalanced world we all share.
