Poets Speak Louder is a fellowship/mentorship program that seeks to ignite a generation of poets who speak in faith with divine conviction. We believe that our poetic abilities are gifts from God, gifts that He expects us to use to positively impact our world.
We host an annual virtual Spoken Word Bootcamp — a 4-month intensive that includes writing sessions, delivery practice, group discussions, Bible study, and prayer. We also host live in-person workshops in different locations, bringing together individuals interested in learning how to use poetry as a tool of edification. If you have been gifted to use words in a creative way or want to join a community of creatives learn more about spoken word poetry, follow us on instagram at @poetsspeaklouder or send an email to poetsspeaklouder@gmail.com to get updates on future virtual or in-person events.
God has a message for this generation — in the midst of darkness, confusion, hatred, and violence, He wants us to hear His voice. As poets, we choose to be vessels. We choose to SPEAK LOUDER!
