To have your poetry published on the site, head over to the “Submit your work” page and fill out the submission form. You’re welcome to submit as many poems as you like. We accept poetry of all styles and subjects, especially those that speak to social issues, mental health, identity, resilience, or community. The tone can range from hopeful to heartbreaking; what matters most is authenticity.

Check under the community building section of the website home page for updated listings of upcoming poetry readings, open mics, workshops, and other literary happenings in the Nashville area. You’ll find both digital flyers and event details posted regularly.

Yes! If you’re organizing a poetry-related event in Nashville, send your flyer and event details to poemsagainstsilence@gmail.com. We’ll review your submission and post it on the site if it aligns with our mission of promoting community and creative expression.

Primarily, yes, but we also welcome hybrid forms like spoken word, poetic essays, or visual poetry. If your work speaks against silence, it belongs here.
