Our Poetry
Archive’s greatest intention has been to unite poets from around the world; in
the purpose of promoting peace and unity through poetry. Though the world is
full of terrorism, racial separation, consumerism, famine, pestilence,
hurricanes, earthquakes, internal and external expression of darkened hate
toward others, along with the overall uncertainty of humanity, we stand
committed in the pursuit of appreciation of every poet who express personal
thought, in the form of poetry. Poets who submit to Our Poetry Archive’s
General Editions, Special Editions and Anthologies, have penned their personal
thoughts, revealing deep feelings on the troubling subjects mentioned above.
Poetess Denise Levertov said, “A poet articulating the dreads and horrors of our
time is necessary in order to make readers understand what is happening, really
understand it, not just know about it but feel it: and should be accompanied by
a willingness on the part of those who write it to take additional action
towards stopping the miseries which they record.” As an International Poetry
Web Journal, Our Poetry Archive’s poets from around the world have proved its
excellent literary influence upon these troubling subjects.
The
editorial team at Our Poetry Archive does not believe that peace and unity is a
delusive belief. Though the world is turning in a carousel ride of confusion;
every writer and reader of Our Poetry Archive must continue the path of peace
and unity with us. Our determination has proven true every month, as we read
the incredible responses, of poet’s powerful words, which continue to be added
to our numbers. The continuation of Our Poetry Archive’s intentions will remain
intact, as we strive, to bring to light to every talent, of every poet, from
every continent; in the purpose of peace, unity, and acknowledgement. This fact
has proven true through various avenues Our Poetry Archive has pursued
throughout the last three, plus years of publishing.
Some of the
avenues Our Poetry Archive has developed, include: Poet of the Month; Special
Continental Editions, featuring poets from Europe, North America, Africa, and
Asia. Three Anthologies; Poetry for Peace Against Terrorism, Poetry for Unity
Against Racism, and Contemporary Women’s Poetry. This month, October 2017, number
of new poets have submitted their poems to Our Poetry Archive’s General
Edition, adding to the numbers of this influential online poetry journal. The
editorial team of Our Poetry Archive has found the growth of OPA very
significant in the intended avenues of peace and unity.
“Poetry lifts the
veil from the hidden beauty of the world, and makes familiar objects be as if
they were not familiar.”
~Percy Bysshe
Shelley~
Our Poetry
Archive sings the melody of hidden familiarity in the world, through the thoughts
and penned expressions of every contributed word. We applaud you for your
support and congratulate each individual poet, on your personal success as a
writer. We also thank our readers, who support the numbers of Our Poetry
