Poet

At Dear Poets Society, we believe that poetry is not a solitary act and rather shaped by our encounters with others. Here, the poet is more than a writer—they are a witness, a listener, and a careful translator of human experience.

When someone shares a personal struggle, our poets read with attentiveness and care. Their role is not to offer solutions or advice, but to respond: to craft a poem that honours the vulnerability entrusted to us and offers comfort and companionship in return.

Through this process, our poets contribute to a growing, intimate archive of human experience, shaped one response at a time.

Our team includes poets whose work has been recognised by leading platforms such as The New York Times and The Adroit Journal.
