IGNITE POETS

IGNITE POETS is an initiative dedicated to providing young poets in the Toronto area with a chance to be heard- How do we do this? We hold showcases to feature young poets and guest performers with prestige and honour to their names.Why was IGNITE launched? The voices of young poets are often overlooked and in some cases, ignored. IGNITE is striving to ensure that young poets will not be overlooked or ignored and their messages are heard loud and clear. IGNITE will provide unique opportunities for young poets to innovatively collaborate, perform and grow together through poetry by practising peace and professionalism. We believe it is crucial that poetry remains alive, and that young poets will get the chance to keep it alive. We strive to be heard, to be seen, and to be understood... We are taking poetry to the street. Stay tuned.
