    Description

    At Dear Poets Society, the poet is not just a writer-they are a witness, a listener, and a gentle translator of human experience.

    When someone writes in with a struggle, the poet reads closely. Their role is not to solve or advise, but to respond-to craft a poem that honours the vulnerability shared, and offers something back: comfort, clarity, companionship, or simply a moment of beauty.

    Each poet draws from their own voice, cultural lens, and emotional intuition to create a piece that feels deeply personal to the recipient. The goal is not perfection, but presence.

    In doing so, our poets help build a quiet archive of what it means to be human, one response at a time.
