Our Vision
Our vision is that for every poem in our anthology, there will be someone, somewhere in this country, who reads it and says, "I wish I'd have written that, because I know that feeling well," and that that one poem will remain in their hearts forever...
Our Goal
We will not make you famous. We will not make you a household name. You may or may not be "Poet of the Year". (Most likely, not, as there is only one.) Our goal is to share the poetry.
Our Pledge
We are not like those other on-line poetry contests. We actually read the submissions & judge them. Still, even though most of the poems entered are not accepted for publication, even those that aren't are reviewed on two separate occasions.
We do not tell everyone that they are a winner, and we will not try to sell you a gazillion different things with your wonderful poem emblazoned on them. We leave the deception to those who are better at that sort of thing.
While we believe wholeheartedly in sharing your poetry, one thing we will never, ever share, is your personal information. On that, you have our word.
JUST POETRY!!!

the Live Poets Society of NJ...
