United States and Australia

The Poetic Bridges project seeks to put together a series of anthologies of collaborative pen-pal style poetry across borders to show solidarity in this difficult time. 

How To Participate

Each poet will be paired with another poet from the alternative country. Everyone will be writing 2 verses of a poem. 

Step 1:

Write the first stanza of a poem, up to 6 lines and enter it in the form below along with all the other requested information. 

Step 2:

You will get an email with the first stanza of a poem from your partner poet.
​Write the second stanza of their poem, also up to 6 lines--they will do the same with your poem. 

Step 3: 

After step 2, we should have 2 completed collaborative poems, and we all get to enjoy the results.
