Invisible Poets is a global community of poets and writers that aims to promote creativity, inspire hope, and encourage one another through the power of poetry. Founded by poets Steve Wheeler and Charlene Phare in February 2023, the community has grown rapidly to more than 75,000 members on Facebook, with many more visitors reading and engaging with their content.
The Invisible Poets group hosts several regular interactive features including Live Poets Society shows from around the globe, picture challenges and the Fantastic Forum. Many poets consider it the friendliest and safest of all the Facebook poetry groups. The group is sponsored by UK poetry publishing house Wheelsong Books Ltd, which funds multiple publications of members work, including the globally renowned Wheelsong Poetry Anthology series, raising much needed funds for Save the Children charity. Wheelsong also funds the Invisible Poets Roadshow with similar charitable aims.
Key Purposes:
- Platform for Poets: Provide a space for poets to share their work, receive feedback, and connect with like-minded individuals.
- Community Building: Foster a supportive and friendly environment where members can collaborate, learn from each other, and grow as poets.
- Promoting Poetry: Showcase poetry of all genres and styles, encouraging members to experiment and push the boundaries of their creativity.
- Real-World Impact: Use poetry to make a positive impact, such as supporting charities like Save the Children through book sales.
The IP community is built around six core principles:
- Give More Than You Take: Share your gifts and talents generously with others.
- Underground Movement: Focus on the art of poetry rather than seeking fame or fortune.
- Kind Words: Use poetry as a means of speaking truth with kindness and compassion.
- Eternal Quality: Strive to create poetry that will endure long after you're gone.
- Collaboration: Reach out to others and create something beautiful together.
- Support Each Other: Be there for fellow members and offer support when needed.
