Poets of Color, Please

I really enjoy this app—I use it daily. However, the daily featured poets are nearly exclusively white, mostly Brits and Americans. For that reason, I would not give this higher than a 2-star rating.

Great for creativity + learning

Perfect combo of learning, exploration, and creation. I’m turning out poetry I hadn’t thought was in me. Learning the rules and having this structure is peak poetry professor…

Creativity Unlocked

Highly recommend this app! Allow your inner creator the time and space to play. You’ll learn about different forms of poetry if you aren’t well versed, and it will help you with the structure to write your own poems in various forms. Plus it is easy to save and share your creations using the app!
