What is Poets’ Garage?

Poets’ Garage is a children’s poetry critique group dedicated to helping its members improve technique and become more confident and capable writers.

What types of poetry do you write? 

We are a global group of poets with individual strengths, and our poetry ranges from free verse to haiku to rhyming picture books.  Most of our poetry is rhyming verse.

How does the group operate?

We use a private message board.  Members post their work anytime they want, and critique what they want.  Members are asked to critique a minimum of 5 poems for each poem posted.  They are also asked to critique a minimum of two times a month.

How can I join this group?

Poets’ Garage welcomes applications from published and unpublished poets. Applications will be considered when space becomes available. Please use the contact form to request more information about the application process.  If we are full, we will place you on a waiting list.
